justjoseph63[Staff] Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Hi Dwight! Thanks so much for your patience, and awesome job on this armor! After looking things over we have one small item we need you to jump on before we can finish up your review, sir. As per the CRL for Basic approval: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. As seen below, the paint on some of the teeth will need to be dialed back a bit to where it doesn't reach into the "gum" area. I call it the "Anovos overspray", and everyone (myself included) who has one of their buckets had the same exact issue. It should take you all of 10 minutes with some Q-tips, a toothpick and some (non acetone) paint remover, and I'm sure Justin will be happy to help if you need it! Reference images As soon as you get this done please post a few pics so that we can "move along", get that badge under your name and add another EI to the SCG! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reeeeeeeally don't get the obsession with this at EIB. Yes, many or even most frowns were pretty restrained but there were plenty that look just like his in my opinion... Still, potentially an easy fix... "¯\(ツ)/¯" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 As you know, in many (if not most) cases there are always exceptions to the "norm", especially in OT armor (i.e. Mr. No Stripes). The teeth paint issue is one we have addressed for as long as I have been a D.O (almost 5 years) and since it is listed as a requirement for Basic approval we have to enforce it for EI. Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area. Unlike the MEPD we don't choose a particular Trooper to copy for higher levels of approval, but rather the "ideal" look. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur with Joseph...the Anovos frown paint is very thin...so thin that I just wet my fingernails and drag in the direction I want the paint removed...might take me 30 mins to clean up the "fog" around the frown paint.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Hi Dwight, and thank you for your application for ANH Stunt 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. Overall a great looking set of armor, sir! Just a couple of items here for ya': We are strongly suggesting that (if at all possible) you move the bottoms of the ears toward the back a bit. As of now they are sitting at about a 90° angle to the ridge/brow trim. Ideally, as seen in the reference images the angle should follow the rear angle of the trap above them, and the center of the round part at the top should sit directly below that line, hopefully covering the overlap join of the cap/faceplate. Is this a quick fix? Nope, but it should take less than 30 minutes and would give you a MUCH sharper looking bucket. Remember, it's all in the details at Centurion level. Reference images We noticed that your rear thigh cover strips are not lined up perfectly, but not to worry. The main thing we noticed is that the tops of the thighs could use a trim in the rear. You may or may not experience clicking noises when you walk from the points catching on the posterior plate, but from a comfort standpoint removing some of that will make mobility easier. Trust me. Suggested trim 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. First, don't be alarmed by all the photos below! Most are just quick painting issues, but there are a couple of items in particular that need some attention. We are asking that you take 30 seconds to tighten up the left bottom ear screw. Easy fix! Ear screws shall be slotted, flat topped, countersunk... Reference images Overall a really nice paint job on the vocoder, but we would like to see the top lines a little crisper/cleaner. A filbert style brush will make this an easy fix. Reference images A little "battle damage" is always going to happen and is expected, but for now we ask that you double-check your side rivets to make sure they are all painted for a much better look. Reference image You absolutely nailed the paint job on the large ab-button plate, but we are requesting that you touch up the sides of the ones on the smaller plate for a more rounded look. Reference images The gap in the bottom of your right thigh ridge is passable, but the left side will need to be less noticeable. An ABS shim glued behind it would take care of this nicely. If you would like to add some ABS paste (or even a little white silicone type filler) that would be even better! Reference images Last up.. you have an awesome looking blaster there, but the selector switch is missing! I know this is a small issue, but only the Bapty style E-11s did not have them (which are not permitted at L3). They are available online (example here) and will be pretty simple simple to install. Just drill a hole, glue it in and DONE! And that's it, brother! You have a little work in front of you, but we have every confidence that with your build skills (and our help if you need it) I can see a Centurion badge below your name in the very near future! YOU CAN DO IT! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goggytalks[TK] Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 Congratulations Dwight on your EIB status. Don't be put off by any of the suggested adjustments to reach Centurion level. I think most of us have had to make the same adjustments, but the satisfaction you get when it passes is a great feeling. Well done . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
