CallMeMrTibbles[501st] Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 I've noticed that the black of my frown goes into the gums. I've removed the excess paint, but waiting on a tin of coal black humbrol 85 to neaten up the lines. Should be here before the end of the week.Sent from my SM-A715F using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have an awesome set of armor there and should be well chuffed with the way it turned out. I will be working on your review over the next few days, so thanks in advance for your patience! Side note: FANTASTIC photos, sir! Many times when pics are submitted they are too small and we can't see the details, but yours are spot-on, so THANKS! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Hi Richard, and thank you for your application for ESB 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!! 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. First, SUPER nice job on this build, brother! I can tell that you are proud of this armor, and so you should be. Being a taller trooper, you really made it work, so kudos for that! Just a few items here that we feel could make it look even better. Not a deal breaker by any means, but your helmet is sitting a bit high. If you have any padding in the top, we are suggesting that you remove it to lower it. Note the height in the reference images. Reference image Reference image You got the corners squared off nicely on your small ab-button plate, but it could stand to come in a bit to where a little more of the raised base it sits on is seen. Reference images Just a quick dressing issue here... Your left calf is perfectly placed but the cover strip on the right one is a tad askew. In a perfect world the bottom of the seam should line up with the center of the heel. Reference images The boot style is perfect, but they seem to have a high gloss. Although that sheen matches the shininess of the armor, the originals were hand painted, so perhaps you could take it down to a matte (or even semi-gloss) finish. Reference images 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, we get a bit more precise for Level 3. Although not specifically mentioned in the CRL, the items below need to be fixed so that we can get that Centurion badge under you name! Quickest fix ever here: The brow trim is extending past the rear of the trap. As seen in the ESB reference photos, it sits WAY in front. I personally believe that since these were pretty much all recycled ANH buckets that the rubber shrank over the years. I honestly wouldn't take it back that far, but a quick trim will get you where you need to be. Reference images In looking at the ab button plates and frown, it's obvious that you have some mad paint skills, Richard! We are asking that you use them to tighten up a few areas- The lines around the ear bumps are a lot thicker than we like to see. The top of the one in the second pic shows exactly how the should ideally be. Reference images Last up, the silver weathering on your blaster is nice, but we are requesting that you add a few touch-ups of black in some areas. As seen in the highlighted areas, the paint has worn off and/or the rubber is showing through. EASY fix!!! Reference images And that's it! Again, a superb job on this armor, and with just a few issues to address we have faith that we will be seeing your Centurion submission soon. Well Done! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
