Looks like you may be missing a few images, check out this thread or some of the other EIB applications ;)

 

 

 

Also before the DO's get here you may want to remove some paint from you gum areas

Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area.

Hi Matt, and thank you for your submission for EI!  One of us will be with ya' shortly, sir, but before we can get started we can get started we just need you to post up the pics and show a little love to the teeth paint as Glen mentioned.

That is actually pretty easy to do.. Just use non-acetone paint remover, some toothpicks, cotton swabs and a paper towel or two.  Should take you all of 15 minutes or less.

Looking forward too seeing the results and your new photos!  :salute:

Hi Matt, 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!!  :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.

 

First of all, as a taller Trooper you did a SUPER nice job on making this armor fit great!  Excellent work, sir.  Secondly, please don't be alarmed at all the photos below.  You nailed a lot of great details, but we have a few suggestions for ya' to help give you a better overall look.

 

That being said, let's jump right in!

 

Unless it is permanently glued down, we suggest that you lower the center of the brow trim a bit, as it seems to have an arch.  As seen in the reference image, most had a more horizontal look.

                                                                                                                                                           Reference image

In a perfect world, the biceps should sit underneath the shoulder bell.  We realize that because of your height this may be difficult, but you should be able to raise them an inch or so by shortening the strapping.  It may also help to remove all of the return edge from the bottoms of the bells (pic 3) so that they don't butt up against the bicep.  This will also allow them to sit closer to the bicep, and as seen in the second reference image many of the originals had little to no return edge.

 

                           1.                                     2.                                             3.                                                                  Reference images

  8Oti3Td.jpg?1   p9P3Zz3.jpg?1 huqvuSG.png?1        0BPMNX9.jpg?1  l6qec7R.jpg

 

Technically your ABS belt is correct-  the bottom sits ".. at or just above the bottom of the ab button panels" but it could come up half an inch for a better look.  We also noticed that when you raise your arms it slips down (second photo).  Some Velcro on the rear would take care of that perfectly!

                                                                                                                                                                            Reference images

q9y3Agt.jpg  wZrHZeQ.jpg?1        JYYA0w2.jpg?1   ryfFLX3.png?2

 

Just a small detail here, but if you have the time and inclination your small ab-button plate could do with a trim. ;)

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.

 

Since Centurion is the highest level of approval we have, this is the area where we go into a lot more details.  Some of these will be relatively easy fixes, and a few will be more challenging.  BUT, after looking at your build skills we feel completely confident that you can do it... and we can help!

 

Keep in mind that in addition to the actual CRLs, we consider screen caps/reference images when approving at higher levels.

 

As per the CRL, for Level 2 the tube stripes are "Ideally" located approximately a pencil width from the cheek.  The right side is VERY close, but for L3 the left side needs to come in more.

 

                                                                                                                                                                Reference images

x2tyc5o.jpg?1  KMNPsA4.jpg?1           RgqGVAC.jpg?1  E5mRHrt.jpg?1  FkP9Aoh.jpg?1

 

An easy fix here.. Just grab some black paint and extend the first 2 ribs of the vocoder up a bit.

 

                                                                                                                Reference images

Although they could very well be there and we just can't see them in the photos, a thin (like ¼ inch) white elastic band is required to hold the shoulder bridges down. 

 

                                                                                                                       Reference images

mr2LQC0.jpg  zoxOUMy.jpg?2            GHjDZ6a.jpg?1  ODYAB0h.jpg?1

 

A quick strapping issue here:  Again, we realize that you are a taller Trooper and we certainly do make exceptions in some cases, but if possible we would like to see the shoulder bells raised to where the tops are closer to the shoulder bridge.  This would help minimize the gap(s) between them and the chest / back plates, (and another reason to raise the biceps). 

 

                                                                                                                       reference images

HXHY2W5.jpg               KpHCm6I.jpg?1  DCIloxs.jpg?1

 

Now for the most difficult issue:

 

As you are probably aware, when using shims, the outside seam must be flush for Level 2.  Looks like you got that part covered!  For Level 3, however, the seam will need to be filled.  It doesn't have to disappear 100%, but it should not be overly apparent.  Some ABS paste and an hour or 2 of your time would make this look spot-on, and there are a few tutorials here on that exact issue.

 

nOjjEMS.jpg    V9wNvHz.jpg  GoQFVp3.jpg?1       DtXzWkJ.jpg?1

 

The CRL  for Level 3 states that "Ideally there is no gap between the abdomen and kidney armor".  The key word there is "Ideally".  As I mentioned, we make allowances, but we would like to see them a bit closer if possible.  Maybe just a matter of tightening up the canvas belt.

 

fIoFq2R.png?1   qZt1z1U.jpg           O3P0H1x.jpg  zFSfEM3.jpg  xBw0xgs.jpg

 

The screws on your TD are the correct type and in the right positions, but unfortunately they are way too large and will need to be replaced.  I can send you set of the correct ones (no charge and I'll even pay postage, just PM me).  Note that because of the shank diameter being smaller you may have to glue the clips to the TD and glue the new screws in.  Easy peasy.

 

                                                                   Reference image

LORORkn.jpg        zjSwmXf.jpg

 

As per the CRL, "The corners of the plastic ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45° angle that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt".  You have a distinct advantage here because of where your square belt buttons are placed.  All that is needed in your case is to trim the ends as shown below.  4 minutes with a razor knife and you are golden!

 

                                                                                                                                                               Reference images

qR0jRFm.jpg   M20Q0dB.jpg          2qBfJP7.jpg?1   w2e5ALA.jpg?1

 

After you trim the ABS belt ends, we need you to bring the drop boxes out to where the outside edge is in line with the outside edge of the ABS belt.  Just move the strap(s) over and add a dab of E-6000 behind the elastic to hold them in place.  Raising them up a tad to where the tops of the boxes meet the bottom of the ABS belt would help as well. :D

 

0j0mC0P.jpg     1Sgra2M.jpg     vbIylxl.jpg         aSEODk8.jpg?1

 

As seen in the reference pic, there are no gaps on the lower ridge(s) of the thighs.   I suggest gluing a small piece of ABS behind that gap.  Filling the gap with ABS paste is optional, but preferred.

 

Just a dressing issue, but the ridges at the top of the left calf should be completely closed, just like your right one.  

 

                                                                                                     Reference image

Last up!  Like I mentioned in your thread- that is an AWESOME looking blaster.  Many times we see lots of print lines, but we can tell that you took a lot of pride in that build.  The only small issue is the silver weathering on the T-tracks.  The originals were plastic, so I suggest grabbing some of your black spray paint and giving them a quick coat.

And that's it, brother.  You have some work ahead of you, but we would honestly like to see you tackle these issues.  You have the skills and we are here to help, so I really hope to see your Centurion submission as soon as you are ready.  Time to get out there and "shine" as the newest EI in the Diamond Garrison!!  :salute:

Congratulations and welcome to the EIB ranks trooper

 

Also if you apply for Centurion please use a blank background, very hard to edit out a Death Star full of Lego ;)
