TKSpartan[Staff] Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi, just a suggestion, looking at your armor, I think the D.O. will probably ask you to remove the RWA sticker from your left shoulder bell. cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfchen Posted August 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi Mario, thank you for the observation. Actually this is the decal of our garrison and it's a part of our safety policy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwede[TK] Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi and thank you for your EIB application. Mario is correct, no decal is allowed and needs to be removed. We are going through several applications at the moment so there’s time for you to remove it and post new photos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Nice work trooper, just a couple of things you could do to really shine. Knee ammo strip has some return edge left on the top, you can see the curve and trim line. You could also increase the size of the curve on the bottom of the thigh ammo strip. Teeth should not have any paint on the gums, from the CRL: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Thigh cover strip should be cut straight across not angled Appears you cut the bottom of the sniper plate on angles, should be straight across, but see what the DO's say You could also trim a little more off your smaller ab plate Helmet brow for a "Stunt" is a little low but again up to the DO's. Normally the "Hero" version has a lower brow On a few images your drop boxes don't look like they are in alignment with the end of the belt, you may need to add a couple dabs of E600 to help them stay there. Good luck with approval. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfchen Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Gentlemen, Please note that I have updated the first post with photos without decals as requested. Furthermore: 1. the size of the curve of the thigh ammo was increased and the top edge trimmed 2. Did some clean-up on the frown - teeth area 3. Thigh cover strip adjustment Your comments are welcome, thank you. Edited August 27, 2019 by Wolfchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfchen Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) I did not like the way the strip looked and decided to exchange it with a new one: And the finished look... Edited September 2, 2019 by Wolfchen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwede[TK] Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Hi again Ivaylo 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. Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions As we navigate through this review we are going to start from the top and work our way down. Starting with the button plates the smaller could be trimmed a bit more and we just want to mention that the corners were straight and not rounded and your buttons, although within boundries, are a tad big when compared to screen used armor in case screen accuracy is your thing, it sure is ours Moving on to the belt we recommend a light shave to stay sharp on Patrols. Another of those small things is that the TD clips just like the ab buttons were cut straight and the screws were placed more at the ends, that would also keep the clips more flush to the tube itself. Here we recommend to lower the right thigh to keep the gaps even. 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. Starting with the helmet and the brow we usually leave it as a suggestion but yours is actually going below the eye sockets in the middle and need to be raised for a Stunt-look. However if a lower brow is what you prefer we don´t request you place it as indicated by the blue line but atleast keep it above the "eye-line". Next up we have the shoulders and by removing more of the lower return edge you should be able to close that gap more. The right shoulder bell also look to be slightly rotated to the front so we advise you do some trouble shooting, could be as easy as a simple dressing issue. Here we can se that the kidney overlaps the ab at the bottom and causes a gap at the top that needs to be closed. Some work with the strapping should have it sorted in no time. Moving on to the belt it should be raised just a tad for a clean Centurion look. A dab of glue should keep those dropboxes in the correct position - at the ends of the ammobelt. Last we have the sniper knee and the way this is trimmed is just to far from the originals to pass the Centurion level, It can´t be saved by trimming so we´re sorry but it needs to be replaced. And that´s it, apart from that sniper knee it´s a pretty straight forward road to Centurion. Congratulations again on beeing Expert Infantry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
