Are there any completed/ready 3D files of all the armor?
What's the etiquette for this?
Any info would be great.
I'm one of the newbies here but will contribute any way I can. =]
Several members have taken a stab at the armor but no one has completed any, let alone an accurate set. Captain April is knocking everything out of the park. I'd just wait until he's done. I plan on doing a run once the files are complete, finished and molded. Probably early 2016.

I think these will work great. James & Soul, I'll get yours in the mail Friday. I have enough extras to test some weathering.
I think it is probably still worth talking. Those are not quite right for the screen used ones. Both in color and in size. I have the stitching of original patch at 45mm and the whole thing being about 48mm. So the keychain needs to be a few mm larger, and brass. Plus technically less detailed. They are a great reference though.These look great. Should I still try to contact a custom maker, or will these be fine?
I keep wanting to try sculpting the armor, but I have never actually done it before and keep getting distracted by just studying other parts of the suit. And trying to find the other parts.
The belt is a really tough one. It has to exist out there somewhere. They went through a lot of work to modify the harness to it. If it were custom built I think it would fit the harness better. While those amazon belts seem to have the general idea, the big problem I see with them is the lack of the (for lack of a better word) pockets. It has one continuous area for the webbing to go through, whereas the one from the suit has one on either side, and is open along the back. I have been looking through websites for tactical stores in the UK online but nothing right yet. That grey is just a hard fine. Unfortunately I am also leaning towards whatever it is being out of production now, and really having an online presence. I am not that great at the research, but still trying.
I have to admit, the RPF never lets me down. Awesome research everyone, started from page 1 of the thread! Love seeing the evolution. I need to get my hands on a coolshirt!
Soulinertia again leading the charge, love it dude. Your Star-Lord gear is top notch bro.
Can't wait to get started on this build. Aiming for Dragon*Con 2016. Hopefully we can build some small equipment and set up a team EVA in the Marriott!

The webbing on the left is definitely the same, they added that to hide that the harness has been cut in half. I am not sure the webbing on the rest of the belt is the same though. I know its kind of a thin premise, but the thread on the molle part is definitely a different color. Meaning they were sown at different times, with different patterns. The quality of construction on the belt and the harness are way higher than the couple bits holding them together. Making it seem much more like two found items sewn together than one found and one custom. I do accept that the webbing is very similar, and the molle part could have been added, but still leaning towards it being all out there somewhere.
I have not been to DragonCon yet. I have definitely been thinking about it. But if everyone is going to be there, then that will be my aim as well. A team EVA would but freaking amazing.Welcome aboard, Kevin. DragonCon is happening for sure.
Yeah I have that as well. I start sketching it out, and then start to doubt it again, and end up getting distracted searching for other parts instead.Same. Never done it before either, but I've been watching a lot of videos on all the most popular methods and while I'm watching I'm like "Hey, I could probably do that!" and then 5 minutes later I'm like "Hmm, I don't know."
