gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Nice work trooper, if I was going to tweak anything it would be to try to even out your brow trim, looks a little lopsided. You have a lot of black showing around the wrists so I would try to bring your biceps and forearms down a little. Also match up the gaps between your shoulder bells, one is a little closer Great work and good luck with EI approval 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticopowell[TK] Posted July 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thanks for the tips. I'm guessing that shoulder is out because the snap broke, so that shouldn't be an issue now. Ill check it when I get a chance. That brow has been nothing but trouble lately, Ill get it sorted out as well :). The Biceps need to stay where they are per the GML, so Ill likely need to lower the forearms down a half inch to an inch to cover that gap, but to not open one up too much around the elbow. Here are before and after pics from the original submission vs EIB. Original EIB Looks like my arms are a bit too long compared to an original TK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKSpartan[Staff] Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hi Caleb, and thank you for your EIB application! CRL and EIB Application Requirements: All required photos have been submitted, and on behalf of the entire D.O. staff we are pleased to welcome you to the rank of Expert Infantry. Congratulations! 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 armour. Let's start from top. The brow trim of your helmet, as you can see in the reference photos, should be a little shorter. This is a very easy and fast adjustment, just be careful to do it little by little so as not to cut too much. Reference Images As you can see, the gap between your bicep and forearm is quite a bit smaller than the gap between the forearm and wrist. If you're able to drop the forearms a bit, it will help you look your best. Reference Images Moving on we have the Han-snap. It should be ideally in the top corner, currently yours is to far in and it's suggested to be moved. Reference Images Ideally, the screws of the Thermal detonator sit closer to the end of the clips. This is not a big deal and would involve replacing the clips. We consider it's worth mentioning. Reference Images As you can see, this is just a dressing issue to take care of , the left thigh is a little up and looks misaligned, Easy fix. Reference Images *************************************************** Centurion Requirements; In this section we prepare you for Centurion. Because Centurion photos show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Centurion might be seen there and not here and additional photos may be required. We try to point out all that we can from what we see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper. I have followed your armor build thread and I know the great work and dedication you had invested, amazing mate! In my own experience, although one tries to make everything perfect there's always a detail here and there. Looking at your front view submitted photo , we noticed that the the brow trim is riding entirely too high over the trap on the left side. We think you may be able to lower it to align and glue it in place. Reference Images Your Shoulder-Chest connection look quite good, but there is still some gap, especially at the top of the bells. You can tighten the strapping holding the bells on to bring them as close to the chest and back as possible and this will allow then to align better. Reference Images In most of the photos the drop boxes line up perfectly with the ends of the ABS belt, but you may want to add some E-6000 to the straps in the back to prevent them from shifting. Reference Images Finally brother, we noticed a small gap in the rear of your thighs. The left one is close enough, but for the right one , you could add an ABS shim behind the lower ridge to cover that gap (or fill it with ABS paste). Reference Image And here we finish Caleb, again congratulations for being part of the EIB 1000 and for such great set of armor you have built. Don't stop here Trooper, I have full confidence that you can do the fixes and go to Centurion Level!!! Pura Vida! *************************************************** 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
