So I got around to comparing the measurements taken from Spaceman2304's RCU prototype. The yellow box is the prototype. Looks pretty close except for the height on mine is about 6mm too tall... easy fix.

Thanks again Spaceman2304!

sweet im following this
a suit is on my list of projects
i have 2 original run apollo 11 patches on beta cloth
one of wich his destiny is to end up on a suit
 
I got a chance to check out a new space museum in Bonne Terre, MO. The owner Earl was great and showed us some very cool stuff. I was able to take measurements and get photos of many of the suit related items. While the Apollo suit on display was only a training suit I still think it will be a good start in helping me develop a pattern. More to come.

I'm not sure the Apollo is a "training" suit. It looks more like a display / "meet and greet" suit. Could have it ever been used to "train", that I can't say, but, none of the elements look very close to a real suit and astronaut training suits were the same as mission suits.
The Shuttle / EMU elements are real. Clearly Class III training items there.
