Hi Dereck, You have done a great job on your armor build.  Looking at your Helmet I noticed a common issue, I had the same in my EIB Application.

 

you will probably be asked by the D.O.s to remove some of the paint on the teeth of your frown and add a bit paint to both ends.

 

As stated in the CRLs for Basic approval:  Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area.

Good luck with your approval. Yous EIB badge is almost ready Sr.  :salute:

Hey Derek, Sorry for the delay in responding but your fellow trooper has hit the nail on the head with the  paint going into the lip area. 

I will need to see this adjusted before we can get started. 

the easiest way to fix this is with some mineral spirits and a tooth pick. dip the toothpick and use it as an eraser of sorts but with a little effort you come out with the results shown in the reference image.

Overall a really great build. 

I noticed some small issues:

  1. Neck seal zipper: I think an overlapping Velcro closure at the back of the seal would give a cleaner look.
  2. TD placement: Just a minor dressing issue. Try and make sure it is centered when photos are taken.
  3. Sniper knee: The top edges of the sniper knee look like they extend past the top of the shin. These should line up
  4. There is some glue seepage from under the cover strip on the right forearm. This is easy to remove by rubbing with your fingers. Just double check the rest of your cover strips 
  5. From your stats it looks like you are a bigger guy, and I don’t mean that in a bad way :)  The shoulder bells look a little too small and they sit back from you shoulder straps and front armour. I am still struggling with the pesky shoulders on my build. Not sure if you can get them closer to the shoulder straps?

 

Otherwise really nice!

Okay I spent some time attempting to improve these teeth. Please let me know if these are acceptable or else I can attend to them a little more. Thank you! I took a pic with flash and without to show a contrast.

Hey Derek

Thanks for your application for EIB and helping us get that much closer to our March to 1000. 

Always great to see a fellow Makaze member go for higher ranks as well. 

 

 

CRL and EIB Application Requirements

All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to Expert Infantry rank. On behalf of the DO team and myself, many congratulations! :duim: 

 

With all reviews we like to start at the Helmet and work our way down, keep in mind that whatever we point out are suggestions that we feel will make your armor look better. Some take them and go through them like a task list to complete them all and some do not, its entirely up to you. Lets get started shall we? 

 

Other-Armor Fit/Assembly

In this area we review observations made by your fellow troopers and the DO team. Some observations may lead to suggestions to improve the overall look of your armor. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions

 

Great job on the frown fix that Mario has pointed out.   

 

And while your deploying the toothpick eraser trick to your frown area it looks as if you can also apply it to your vocoder.  

In my opinion this is probably the the hardest thing to paint cleanly by hand. I found it hard to get a steady hand position and had to do the same. 

A little elbow grease and a drop of mineral spirits goes a long way, I actually outlined mine with a permanent black marker to get the clean outline then just painted in the lines. 

                                                                                  Reference Photo

Next up would be your ear placement. This is by far one of the most overlooked area on the helmet and I believe its because everyone is worried about the fit.

Most tend to put them in a vertical position when they should follow the live given by the Trap on the temple area. I would consider this an intermediate fix because it will probably require ABS paste to fill the holes. But hey you've built this set of armor so I have all the confidence that you can do it.

Next we'll move onto your Mid section, 

First thing to look out for will be the thermo detonator location as this is more of a alignment issue. Try to keep in mind that this armor was built to show off its clean and simplistic line. It's a;ways good practice to have a clan member or handler give a visual to make sure everything in in its place. Use the raised area as a guide and try to feel the ends of the thermo det are in line with them up with them.

Next I want to draw attention to your butt plate, I think this is a combination of your COD strapping being a bit to long and the strap on the far right being long or could need to be moved a to the right a bit more to help keep it in the proper position. By shoring up that cod strap it'll help pull that in the correct position as well.

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 adjustments. If there are any areas of concern they will be discussed here.


Because Centurion photos show much more detail than EIB, items to pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here. We try to point out all that we can from what is seen, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.

 

First adjustment would be your shoulder. Per the CRL: There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates.

 

I would start by trimming off the return edge and check the fit before adjusting the straps 

                                                                                                                                   Reference Photo 

ac5KSjZl.jpg   i9ELiuYl.jpg     ngMmIiZl.jpg  6lIFhSYl.jpg

 

Next I will require that you clean up the ab buttons and make them a bit smaller 

Per the CRL; Ab button paint shall not extend beyond the bottom of the actual raised button. 

You can pick up a stencil at any craft store and use it to mark out the correct sizing prior to cleaning up. 

                                                                                                                                        Reference Photo

These are the two major issues that would keep you from reaching Centurion but like I said earlier you built this armor so I have all the confidence that you can achieve it with a little more work. It may seem overwhelming but I like to print the list and go through them one by one checking them off so I can visually see what required. 

 

From all of us here in the Deployment Office at FISD  Welcome Trooper & Great Job :salute:

Wow thank you so much Mike!! This was worth the wait! I really appreciate the feedback and can’t wait to get started on them. Thanks to everyone else who had a hand in this build!

Congratulations and welcome to EI trooper.

 

If I may a couple of other things you could improve on.

 

You could also trim your smaller ab plate a little more ;)

You may also want to clean off some excess glue

7e8dcc91f9161f45d98160a375757b7c.jpg

 

Also clean/trim the sides of your ab/kidney, can see the plates behind

310f90098b0d0a5a31003daa31eb7dec.jpg

 

 

You could also reduce the size of angled corners of the belt as they are a little large, trimming the ends would achieve this, from the CRL: The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt

7170e34cccdc01e19316c3cd1f9fb362.jpg

 

For your centurion photos make sure your ab/kidney tops meet

20b27ef3c3409d9f328a44e38babd23c.jpg

 

For fixing the butt plate gap I came up with a V tab, a strip of ABS bent and glued on one inside.

Personally I would also bring your brow trim up a little, the lower brow trim is seen more on the Hero version.

Looking forward to seeing your Centurion application, good luck trooper
