Nice work trooper, however looks like your large ab plate needs rotating.

You could reduce the gap between shoulder bells and shoulder straps.

TD screws could be closer to the ends of the clips

Good luck with your application.

Nice job, Chemi!  As Glen mentioned, the large ab-button plate will need to be rotated before we can move along, sir.  Should be a pretty easy fix!

Hola Chemi! Apologies for the delay. Like you in Spain, we here in the Bay Area in California have had our lives turned upside down due to COVID-19, so I was not on the boards for a few days. I will be taking a look at your application today. Thank you for the quick fix with your ab buttons!

Hola Jose,

 

Apologies for missing this, but your hovi tip mesh will actually need to be replaced for your EIB approval.

 

The L2 CRL states:

 

Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white.

Your screens have fine/small mesh.

I know @ukswrath in California sells accurate screens, but it may be easier to ask your Spanish Garrison friends where they found their mesh. I'm not sure if it will be very difficult to find right now during the national quarantine; certainly don't put yourself as risk just for this. Let us know if you feel like it's possible right now.

Hi Jose,


Thanks for your application and thanks for the quick ab button fix! Pretty funny nobody noticed it earlier. :lol:

 

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 Joseph and myself, many congratulations! :duim: 

 

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

 

Starting from the top, it looks like some of the paint on your helmet might have gotten smudged or bubbled up. Although we know the screen-used helmets took a lot of abuse, we tend to go more towards the clean fresh-off-the-Death Star look, so you can consider cleaning up the paint.

Next, your forearms seem to be sitting a little low. Ideally there is minimal black showing anywhere, but when there is, it's nice for it to be even, so you can consider shortening the strapping between your biceps and forearms to bring them up a little higher.

For your TD, if you want to be super screen accurate, you can consider moving the screws closer to the ends of the clips. This of course would mean you would need new TD clips, but it's worth mentioning for those troopers who want to do everything they can for screen accuracy.

Next, while it's very close, your butt plate is sticking out a little bit. You should see if you can adjust the strapping a bit to keep it more in place.

Another minor dressing issue. From the back you can see your left thigh is sitting noticeably lower than your right. You should try to see if you can adjust the strapping to make it more even. On my own armor the back of my right thigh would sag, so I added an extra piece of elastic to keep it high enough.

Finally, a very small nitpick. You can see a bit of a line where your left thigh pieces come together. We're suggesting you fill that gap with ABS paste to make it seamless:

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.

 

Again starting from the top, the L3 CRL states:

 

There should be a minimal gap between the shoulder armor and the chest/back plates.

 

Every trooper's body is different, but your shoulder bells look like they have room to come in.

Suggestions for narrowing that gap are: shortening the strapping holding the shoulder bells on, as well as trimming all of the return edge off the bottom of the shoulder bells to bring them as close to the chest and back as possible.

Next, you've done a pretty good job at filling the seam for your kidney piece shim, but you can still see the seam. This is totally fine for EIB but for Centurion, it needs to be seamless. 

 

Ideally there no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor. Abdominal and Kidney Plate align horizontally at top.

  • A single visible seam line is present.

You'll just need to add a bit more ABS paste and do a little more sanding.

 

Finally for the drop boxes, your left dropbox looks good, but your right one is a little bit far in.

 

Drop boxes are vertically aligned with the end of the ammo belt with minimal gap between belt and box.

Usually people add a little bit of glue onto the elastic holding the drop boxes on to keep them in place.

 

And that's it! Congratulations on reaching EIB and we'll see you soon at Centurion. Most importantly, stay safe, my friend! We're thinking of you and all of your brothers and sisters in the Spanish Garrison.
