*Note

I have had this armor since 2019 so it has been used quite a bit. The changes I have made to my suit came much after I was first accepted to the 501st to try and make it better.

I noticed that the endcap of my blaster had also broken off. A replacement is currently on its way and I will update as I get feedback on other fixes I will need to do as well. Thanks

Hi Tyler nice work, you will however need to post each of the images into your application, copy the "direct link" of each image or right click select copy then paste directly into your thread.

 

Also have a read through the application requirements here: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/22583-expert-infantry-application-guidelines/

 

You may also want to check some measurements on your TD clips are HUGE and your control panel plate is not quite straight on the sides

 

 

Good luck with approval

Hi Tyler, thank you for applying  for EIB.

 

As Glen pointed , please update the photos and the fix to the TD .

 

One of us will be with you asap.  

[Chemi[Staff]]

Hi Tyler , and THANKS for your submission for ANH Stunt Expert Infantry!  That is an nice and well "trooped"  set of armor there, sir, but unfortunately there are some issues  you need to correct before we can get started and put that EIB badge under your name.  Some of them are from Basic level and others are EIB requirements.

 

 

Starting from your Helmet, 

 

Looking closely at your helmet's right ear, looks like some j=kind of repair was made in some moment cause the surface  looks rough and some sanding and polishing would be needed, also you can see a small gap that will need to be applied some abs paste to seal it. 

 

 

                                                                                                                                          Reference Images

                            

 

 

"CRL Basic: Frown is painted gray and does not leave the teeth area" Easy fix with some paint remover (non acetone) a toothpick or cotton swabs.

 

                                                                                                                                                                             Reference Images

 

        

 

 

 

As you can see there are a couple of buttons that need a paint session to make them look the same size . One needs a paint remove and the other a little more blue color.

 

 

             

 

 

As mentioned by another trooper, please check your TD end caps and general measures , the control panel should be rectangular all around and needs to be rotated a little to face the rear as the CRL states for Basic Level. You will need to change the screws for the correct type as well and paint them black color.

 

"Basic: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap.
The total length is approximately 7.50" (190.5mm).
End caps are approximately .78" (20mm)in width.

L2: Clips shall be attached with slotted type, flat or dome top style screws, and be black (two per clip)."

Looking closely at your Canvas Belt it looks to have an inserted section. Since it needs to be a single piece, I should recommend to replace it .

Your Sniper Knee needs some more trimming to match the screen references and removing the button return edge will allow to get it close to the shin. Bellow you can see the screen references and some examples of ATA approved EIB Sniper Knee , so yours will match in a great manner.

Finally I'll need you to please, add an additional photo of your AB/Kidney side rivets like the example bellow. 

 

 

 

 

Even though it looks like a lot of work ahead, we are confident that you can do it Trooper.

I didn’t see any mention on this, so if it was mentioned forgive me for repeating it.

Looks like the rear cap of the blaster is missing or incorrect.

And at level 2 the D-ring mounted on the rear.

Yes, the Trooper mentioned that  is waiting for the end cap to arrive.  Thanks

I have made the adjustments. I decided to make all new pictures since a lot was changed.

 

*I realized my TD was sticking straight up in the air. I just bent the metal and now its fine. Im happy to upload a different picture than the one above if needed. (my wife doesnt want to help out with pictures anymore for today XD)

Thank you Tyler. I'll be with you soon.   Centurion eventually? No, Centurion will be your next goal Trooper !

Hi Tyler, 

 

You made an outstanding job with the requested fixes !    I have started to work on your review and there are a couple of fixes we need you to do prior we can place that EIB badge under your name.

 

1- Your TD white control panel:  the crl states for basic  that it "...faces rear "  and yours still faces up.    A proposed solution for that would be to Take off and trim a little the lower section of the Control panel  and Trim a little more the metal clips end , that match with the control panel . 

 

 

   

 

 

2-  The TD screws, they're correctly slotted as requested by the CRL but as you can see bellow, they look V head and the Crl for EIB states that they need to be:

 

"... flat or dome top style screws, and be black (two per clip). ... V head screws are not permitted."

 

      

 

                                                                                                                                                           References 

 

     

 

 

Almost there Trooper !

These clips and screws I purchased from ukswrath.

Awesome ! thanks.
