justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 6, 2019 Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Looking sharp, Eddie! You will probably be asked to remove some of the paint from a few of your teeth for level 2 approval. As stated in the CRL for Basic approval, Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. If I may make a couple of other observations that will help you look your best, they would be: You have a pretty large gap between your posterior (butt) plate and kidney. Tightening up the side connections may help reduce this. The paint lines on your vocoder are pretty sharp, but should extend all the way up to cover the raised areas. Easy fix! There are a few other small items to address, but the D.O. staff will go over those with you. On a side note, GREAT to see that you didn't use the Velcro strapping system that came with your kit and went with the classic strapping method and snaps. Nice job, Trooper!

The other things mentioned are suggestions to improve the look but we don´t need you to fix those unless you want to, I hope you do though Have a great trip and see you when you get back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwede[TK] Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hi Eddie While reviewing your application we found another issue that we need you to amend for EIB. As per CRL L2: The sniper knee plate must be aligned with the ridges on the shin and as seen below, one side is spot on but the other needs some tweeking. You got this Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwede[TK] Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Hi Eddie We do need you to do some additional cleaning of the teeth as there`s still some paint in the gum area. Great job on the other fixes - almost there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 21, 2019 Report Share Posted May 21, 2019 SUPER nice job on that butt plate/kidney connection and vocoder fix, Eddie! Like Daniel mentioned, the teeth could use a little more work (you are almost there, brother) but I also wanted to give you a big on your side rivet placement. Looking sharp!

TheSwede[TK] Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi again Eddie and thank you for your EIB application. In this review I will ensure that your armor follows the requirements set out in the CRL L2 Expert Infantry Badge and also point out what I can to prepare you for Centurion, should you choose to apply. I hope you do! Let´s get started shall we! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required submission photos have been posted and I am very pleased to announce your armor displays all the necessary elements to qualify for ANH Stunt Expert Infantry. On behalf of myself and the entire D.O.Team, Congratulations! Other-Armor Fit/Assembly: In this section we review observations made by your fellow troopers and ourselves. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. As we navigate through this review we are going to start with the helmet and work our way down. You have a nice high brow worthy of a Sandtrooper, however the Stunts typically have a sligtly lower one as seen in the pic below. Next up we have the tears and traps were the paint looks a bit dull so we feel some touching up is in order. If going for uber accuracy the lean of the pin stripes follow the front border as illustrated in the circles. We move on the the tubestripes and although they are nicely applied they could stand to come up just a tad and they would be perfect. Perhaps something to do on a rainy day with nothing else to do We love seeing the original bracket strapping system but we do however suggest you replace the modern philips screws to slotted ones. As seen in the reference image the smaller button plate could stand a shave to loose the return edge and we also suggest you brake out the blue paint and make it the same size as the grey ones and speaking of which, they could on the other hand benefint some cleaning up around the edges with a tootpick or other weapon of choice. Looking at the belt, the dropboxes are in perfect alignment so great job on that and the only thing we have to mention here would be that the holster straps in the movie for the most part were of a tan color, just something to consider. Just a little FYI that the gloves could use a clean-up to be up to snuff for Lord Vaders inspection. The next two suggestions follow in the same category as above - making you look sharp for the Empire. #1 Idealy the cover strips line up so we suggest you rotate the thighs inwards and as a bonus that will reduce the black showing for a prestine ANH-look. #2 We stay on the thighs and suggest you trim and/or fill the gaps with some scrap abs and abs paste to be more in keeping with the on screen Troopers. Last item to mention in this section is just a little triming for total ANH-accuracy, if that´s your preference that is Centurion Requirements: In this section we prepare you for Centurion. More photos may be requested in the future that allow us to make better decisions on possible adjustment etc. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here. Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all we can from what is seen but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. Below you will find areas that will need to be adressed for a future succesfull Centurion Application. Your shoulder bells are really close but we feel they can look even better by just shorten the strapping and possibly trim them with a curve as seen in the reference image. The belt is also close to beeing perfect but as Centurion is the highest level we feel raising it up is the right thing to do. It should only be a matter of lifting it up and placing some velcro to hold it if the pressure against the button plates isn´t enough. These snaps needs to be replaced with ones of a silver/chrome finish. There seem to be some material left as indicated but that´s an easy fix with a dremmel on your road to Centurion. Last item is the blaster and the CRL states that Hasbro´s are not allowed for L3 so you will need to get another blaster for Centurion, let us know if you need help in sourcing one And that´s it! Head on out and make the Empire proud as it´s newest Expert Infantry Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
