My costume attempt!

Hey All,
I'm just making my 1st post on theRPF and dipping my toe into the world of Costumes.
I'm a long time Dredd fan (Since the 80's) and my happiest comic memories started with the Apocalypse War!

Anyway I'm currently pulling together my attempt at a costume.
I was lucky enough to lay my hands on Reel Images vest before Kurt bowed out of producing them.
I'm currently halfway through my Helmet build, I'm at the stage that it's bonded and primed and nearly ready for paint.
Main issue I'm having is sourcing a decent visor.

Regarding the leathers, I've tracked down a passable pants and glove option(Pics Attached)
I have narrowed down a few different boot options too (Any recommendations on where to source boot armour will be appreciated)so I'm feeling pretty confident about getting something good as a final Suit!

My 2 big issues however are.
1; Which are the best 3D Lawgiver print files? I have access to a 3D printer and want to build a GBB airsoft off a Glock I have handy. The PlanetReplica one? Or is there a better option available? The plan is an Airsoft shell, so if anyone can recommend the best option for this it would be much appreciated.
2: Duty belt. I've yet to even start pulling this together and I'm torn between buying a ready made option?(Recommendations appreciated!)
Or trying to discover as yet unrealized skills and building myself.

Thanks for looking and please feel free to critique, advise and rubbish where needed ;)

I cut mine from a plastic visor, shade 5. It's very dark and green, but it works great. I thought of going with the clear visor and adding layers of window tint to get the darkness, but I figured the multiple layers would reduce clarity.
 
Some more progress on my costume build.
I even managed to source a passable (I hope) pants :)
I have taken a dremel to my eagle to give some low relief and drop shading lines that I think turned out reasonably well.
Work on my lid is suspended at the moment due to Christmas and my Shed being rebuilt ;)
