To prevent confusion:

 

We (Daniela TK-72216, Sebastian TK-51337 and Richard TK-40193) built our stormtroopers together last year - the local Rise of Skywalker premiere was our first troop as FOTKs. In January we submitted our armors for basic approval and passed it.

 

We then decided to update the few parts that we hadn't initially built to the Level 2 and Level 3 standards and are now appliying for the next levels of approvement. Since we built the armors together almost every mechanism, closure method and solution to strapping problems is the same - there are small individual differences but nothing major.

 

We took our new approvement photos before a green screen in our living room with a set up to lights over a couple of days so lighting and background should be consistent in all three of our applications.

 

Thank you very much for your time!

Hi Daniela, thank you for your EIB app.

 

One of us will be with you shortly, meanwhile It will be needed to update the posted photos according to the EIB Photo check list requirement so we can see more in detail your armor.

 

PHOTO GUIDELINES

Photo size At least 800 X 600 (preferably 1280 X 960)

 

 

Thank you.  :salute:

Nice work there is some difference in the forearms from TFA to TLJ which you may want to address

A couple of adjustments you could make:

Butt plate is not level on the rear

Also your belt appears to be higher on the rear, over the ab section

Hi Daniela, 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!  :salute:

 

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. 

                                                                                    

FOTKs are always amazing and yours is a  nice set of armor, most of the items in this area are simple dressing/strapping issues that you could consider to check every time when putting on your armor.

 

Starting from top:

Your helmet seems to be riding a bit high in comparison with most seen onscreen.  Not a deal breaker for Level 3 by any means, I had this same issue with my Anh Tk due to have excess padding in the top, removing or reducing it will help it ride a bit lower and looks more accurate . 

 

                                                                                                                                                                                             Reference Images

Your neck seal looks fantastic and although you have the correct number of ribs and shiny finish as required, It should ideally have the zipper closure in the front. 

 

                                                                                                                                                                  Reference Images

Your ab belt looks to have some misalignment front a rear. This could be solved by tightening a bit or by  adding some velcro behind it . Esay fix! 

 

                                                                                                                                                             Reference Images

Looking at your TD from the side, there's a noticeable gap between your TD and the backplate  that you  may want to make some adjustment to reduce it.

 

                                                                                                                                       Reference Images

We are suggesting trimming your cod and posterior plate to better reflect the angle as seen in TLJ.  Note in the reference images that the bottom part is thinner and actually curves underneath.

                                                                                                                                     Reference Images

                                                                                                                                                         Reference Images

Rotating thighs inwards would avoid the inside seams can be seen, it will also reduce the black area between the thighs and cod as well as move the thigh away from the posterior plate as they appear to be hitting on the rear.

 

                                                                                                                                                      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.

 

 

Something to be aware of is that the tops of your forearms have a curve (as seen in TFA) rather than a slight angle as seen in TLJ

 

                                                                                                                      Reference Images

 

               g0GO8lU.jpg                              DLMM3dP.jpg         s625cf7.png     

 

 

It looks like your TD mount and TD plate are one piece, and although not specifically mentioned in the CRLs (not yet) they must be 2 separate components.

 

 

                                                                                                                                                      Reference Images

 

k3qBhVI.jpg?1                                   grzgzRo.png         rx3HhJd.png

 

 

 

I love those FOTK  fantastic looking blasters, sharp lines, working lights, amazing. unfortunately yours has some details  seen in TFA not in TLJ.  A rectangular "D-ring" must be present, and both it and the mount need to be white.

 

 

                                                                                                                                                     Reference Images

 

H06RA9L.jpg?1                                                           mwDTVmH.png         3GvMrcG.png         

 

 

Another small detail that is missing from your weapon is the presence of a light mount on the barrel also known as  Picatinny (Pic) rail .  You can find it online on several types and sizes 

                                                                                                                                                   Reference Images

And that's it, Daniela ! Congratulations for a great set of armor and we are confident that you can give a couple of steps more a get Centurion level  soon !

  • TKSpartan changed the title to TK-72216 requesting First Order Stormtrooper (The Last Jedi) EIB Status (ANOVOS) (1001)

Hey everyone, 

 

thank you so much for taking the time to respond, react and give feedback to my armor. =) 

 

I started out in Star Wars costumes five years ago after seeing TFA with a Rey costume - I always loved the dark side but to be honest with me being 1,66m and not knowing shucks about armors, I thought trooping next to my boyfriends Kylo Ren as one of this Stormtroopers would be near impossible. 
Well, life is strange and amazing and here we are years, costumes and experiences later and we both have Level 2 approved Stormtroopers during a pandemic. What is life even. 

 

I am beyong honered to be #1001 (feels like a great number) in the Expert Infantry and I am very much looking forward to work on the required changes for Centurion status. 

 

Thanks a lot folks, this community is a great batch. 

I'll be back!
