I think we are on track with that one. I would bet the computer was a phone based off of the photos. The case definitely looks 3d printed, and if they were trying to green screen the whole thing, then it would just have a surface and the reference marks on it. It has a compartment to fit something in it though. I suppose they could just stick a glass screen with reference marks in there, but not sure why it wouldn't be on display if that were the case.

I've made a few updates since pg.3:
I'll be adding another section for all the armor pieces, but help me out. What else should be on here?

It's already on there, lower right hand side.

Did they lack enough buckles for all the suits?

Its still there, just a bit lower in the photo. The black pieces on either side are all part of the same buckle.

ahhhh @Soulinertia, thank you so much for the updated graphic! I was just going crazy flipping back and forth between pages in this thread.
Also, question: Did you get *all* of your buckles (besides the orange anodized one), including the tri-glides, from the AustriAlpin North American site?
Their website is a giant pain in the ass and I was thinking of ordering a few from another site only because they're easier to identify with picture and model number.
Of course, it would be nice to order as many as possible from just *one* place.

Would one of the kind folks who bought a buckle mind giving me measurements of the length and height? I'm going to try to "reverse-engineer" the measurements of the suit. I could probably use Matt Damon's height if I had to but, I think using the buckles would be a lot more accurate.
You will find them all here: http://austrialpin.at/
The big buckles are the "Nautic Cobra" in stainless
Here's a screen cap from one of the photos I took of the suite this weekend. iPhone 6 for scale. When I looked at it for depth, it looks like held an iPhone 5-sized screen
I'll be posting a DropBox link with photos and video for download tomorrow.

This is perfect! I can scale the model I have to fit this.
Here is both computer references I have. From the UnderArmor ad and ACalamity's photo.
Side view first go at.
I need a bit more reference on the narrow sides of the comp. But I was able to estimate a lot of things with the ACalamity' two photos.

http://www.austrialpin.net/products/cobra/SSNautic.asp This one, right? I'm not seeing any measurements for it. Am I missing something?
That's it. They only have one size for the Nautic buckles.
On the Austrian version of the site they state that the inner slot width is 45 mm so you will have to extrapolate from there.

I've just received a physical catalog from Austrialpin but it seems to be identical if not lack a little info compared to the PDF available. They did refer me to a vendor of their buckles for placing orders within Europe I'll see if I can find that mail again.

The case is about 32" in width and depth, about 7' tall. The suit stands about 12" back in the case, and its platform is about 4" off the ground. The fellow in the photos for scale stands at about 5'11" in his shoes. I also included the replica helmet that's being used in a contest. Hope this helps!
**Edit: Added how tall the suit stands on its platform.
