Hi Kayden, and thank you for your application for Expert Infantry!

 

CRL and EIB Application Requirements

All required photos are now in and, after review, we are pleased to welcome you to EI!  On behalf of the entire DO staff, 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 armor.  Note that we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions.

 

Thanks for all the updates and new photos, Kayden.  Below are some areas that will tighten up your look and make that set of armor even more screen accurate so we hope they are ones you can work on.

 

The paint details on the vocoder could use some definition with a few touch-ups.  A filbert style brush will help with the top parts.

 

                                                                                         Reference images

Your biceps look even, and it may very well be the angle you are standing at but the forearms appear to be at different heights.  The left bicep/forearm top gaps should be the same as the right side, which is a simple strapping issue and could be the cause.

Most of the time we see too much of a gap between the back plate/shoulder bells, but yours are actually a little too close.  Being as you have an excess, trimming them down is an easy fix.  The one on the left actually seems to be under the back plate.  (The shoulder bell tops/shoulder bridge connections are perfect, though.. no gaps)!

                                                                                                                                                       Reference images

In a perfect world, the ends of the TD clips are squared off, and the screws are mounted closer to the ends.

 

                                                                                                                                                          Reference image

The posterior plate is overlapping the kidney plate at the rear and needs to be repositioned.  I think the strap in the center is the key here as it looks a bit loose (second photo), allowing the center to ride over.  Tightening this up could very well take care of that.

                                                                                                                                            Reference images

I know they can be a pain, but you gotta' stop kicking those mouse droids! LOL

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

 

As you are aware, for Centurion level we go into a lot more details and look at things more closely.  You have some issues below that will need to be corrected before we can get that badge under your name but we feel confident that you can do it.

 

Although you removed the excess paint ask requested, you went a bit overboard on the right side.  The paint needs to be symmetrical all the way across.  You can either do the same thing on the left or raise them a tiny bit on the right, but we are hoping you will also even out the paint on the tops, as the ones on the right look a bit ragged compared to the ones on the left.

                                                                                                                                                                             Reference image

As per the CRL for Level 3, the ear screws "...shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk.***..".  Usually Anovos uses the correct ones on the top and center and the incorrect ones on the bottom for some strange reason,. but these all appear to be of the Pan-head style and will need to be replaced.

 

                                                                                                                                                                 Reference images                                    ***Example

Although not specifically mentioned in the CRLs, we can find no references that show the shoulder straps extending over the edges of the O II plate.  This is a SUPER easy fix and just requires a razor knife, Lexan scissors or tin snips and 30 seconds of your time!

As required for Level 3, the ABS belt must sit "...at or above the bottom of the central and vertical ab button panels".  We suggest above, as seen in the reference images.

                                                                                                                                       Reference images

tHvEgis.jpg            BuMVZEt.jpg?1  Vps70Iw.jpg?1

 

Sadly, the rivets on your ab/kidney connection will have to be moved and the holes filled with ABS paste.  As seen in the references, the bottom one is placed above the crease (yellow arrow) on the ab-plate and they are spaced out evenly from there.  The top ones are close enough, so they are fine.

 

                                                                                Reference images

A small amount of overlap on the canvas belt is fine, but we need you take it back 3 or for inches.  Ideally the end should sit behind or just to the side of the TD.

 

                                                                                                               Reference images

This is going to be a tough one.  As stated in the CRL the sniper knee plate "..must be aligned with the ridges on the shin".  We realize that some armor kits make this difficult to do because of the way they are designed and we allow for that in certain instances, but with the Anovos kit this is entirely possible with some work.  (I have included 2 examples of Anovos knee plates to give you an idea of how nice they can turn out).  We don't expect perfection, but they need to be a lot closer.

 

                                                                 Anovos sniper knee examples                                                               Reference images

Last up is your blaster.  As the requirement states, it is "Based on real or replica Sterling machine gun..." so it should have the basic components of one as seen in the films.  Most are present, but there are a few items missing.

 

1.  No bayonet lug.

2.  Hengstler counter needs to be raised and brought forward a tad.

 tApRMm7.jpg   K14jACl.png  mdR45ks.png?1

 

3.  The charging (cocking) lever and cocking channel opening are not present.  It doesn't need to be hollow in this area and a spring is not required, but it cannot be missing entirely.

4.  No flash guard at the front of the muzzle.

And that's it.  Hopefully you can address these issues and we will be seeing your submission for Centurion soon!  If we can be of any help. just ask.. :salute:
