Sorry about that. I think I have them all now.

 

All present and accounted for, Mark!  One small thing we need ya' to do before we can get that EI badge under your name is to to remove a bit of the paint from the gum line as seen below:

 

                                                              HnBKTfq.png

 

This is actually a requirement for Basic approval ( Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area.) but 5 minutes with a toothpick and some (non acetone) paint remover and you are good to go!

 

If you need any help with this please feel free to contact any of us on the D.O. staff and we will be more than happy to give advice.  You can do this, and we are here for you'!

 

Looking forward to seeing the updated photos!  :jc_doublethumbup:

I am working on your review, Mark, but I need one more photo.  No need to get suited up!  Please post up a detailed pic of the end (either side) of your ABS/canvas belt with it laying on a flat surface.  THANKS!! :salute:

Hi Mark, and THANKS for your SECOND submission for ANH Stunt EI (and your patience)!

 

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 armor, and please keep in mind that  we consider both text (CRL) and pictures (screen caps/reference images) when reviewing submissions.

 

You have a great looking set of armor there, Mark, but there is a little fine-tuning you could do to make it look even better!  Not sure what happened with your Anovos armor, but I think you will find that AM is sturdier. 

All that being said, let's get started, brother!

 

Starting with the vocoder, we would like to see the paint on the tops of the arches more symmetrical and the lines crisper.  This is really easy to do using a small Flilbert (rounded end) style brush and should take less than 10 minutes.   

                                                                                                                                           Reference images

Lmqm2S7.jpg     KKZqeB8.jpg?2  9ZBQOLM.jpg?3        cbkavHl.jpg

 

In looking at the photos below, the gap between the front of the right shoulder bell and the chest plate is pretty wide and should be closer to match the left.  Adding some bicep straps would take care of this.

 

GWNbXpb.jpg   FIqrYoE.jpg           

 

In the first pic below, your right shoulder bell is riding higher than the left one.  BUT, in the rear shot they are perfectly aligned.  I think this is because your right shoulder was raised, so something to consider when you apply for Centurion.  :duim:

 

dh9ZF4x.jpg   hrXb7z5.jpg

 

It looks like your hand plates are about to pop off, so adding some E-6000 (NOT CA glue) around the edges would keep those rascals in place.  The gloves also seem to want to bunch up at the openings (yellow arrow).  I have a thread here which will help.

 

DZLqUwC.jpg          40zOHya.jpg  ruOkcmU.jpg

 

Your ab/kidney connections are fine, but there are slight gaps on the sides, so we highly suggest adding some ABS tabs on the sides.  There are several versions (2 are below) depending on how adventurous you want to get.  

 

                                                                                           Details on this one here.

yv3gaPV.jpg          H2IAe4f.jpg  DwUAjbN.jpg       L14gNbj.jpg

 

In the first pic below it looks like the belt you are using to support your thighs has slipped considerably and is showing.  We suggest raising it (see example) so that the connection sits under your canvas belt.

    

8L0HBAA.jpg     rO1sdyq.jpg

 

Last up, when you submit your Centurion photos have your photographer check the drop boxes so they don't get caught on your thigh.  ;)

Centurion Requirements:

In this section we prepare you for our highest tier of approval.  Because Centurion photos must show more detail than EIB, items pertaining to Level 3 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 are able to clearly see, but the final accuracy is the responsibility of the trooper.

 

Not too much to see here, sir, but as you know Level 3 is all about those small details.... the "ideal" TK.

 

As seen below, your right bicep protrudes farther down than the left one and they should sit at the same height.  This is pretty easy to remedy by making the right shoulder bell to bicep strap a bit shorter.  I'm thinking an inch or so.

                                                                                                                                                             Reference images                                                                                              

Hq4pM8I.jpg    zABcK6Z.jpg         4LIuJ6V.jpg   iFiARHf.jpg

 

As per the CRL, the ABS belt should sit at or just above the bottom of the ab button plates.  Since it has to be raised, we recommend above as seen in the reference images;)

 

                                                                                                                                                                             Reference images

hxOt3dr.jpg          aStxLHI.jpg  h7tqBLX.jpg

 

Last up is the simplest fix ever!  The CRL for Level 3 states that the "Corners of the .. ammo belt shall be trimmed at a 45 degree angle that meets the outer edge of the cloth belt".  I know it's a tiny detail, but that's what Centurion is all about!  10 seconds with some tin snips or Lexan scissors and you are good!

 

                                                                Reference image

leSgrmu.jpg        JgXtqes.jpg

 

And that's it!  Nothing too major, and since you have done this before I have every confidence that you can jump on these issues and that we will be seeing your photos for Centurion soon.  If you need any assistance with any of the issues (or have questions) always feel welcome to contact any of us on the D.O. staff.

Now it's time to get out there and make the CCG proud with this new armor!!  :salute:
