Did you put the sling clips on yours? If so, did you print them or did you buy some?

Does anyone know where I can pick up any of these buckles in the correct size and shape? Seems like they should be common, but all of the ones I find are not quite right. Either too big, or the wrong shape corners. Follow up question...does anyone know the correct strap thickness on this? I am using MCM Design's files (Previously known as Tom's files), and the sling clips on them are modeled to be 1.25". So I have been basing my strap on that also. And thus trying to find that size buckles. But I feel like it looks thicker in the above image. If MCM Design's files (Previously known as Tom's files) are to be considered accurate in scale, the dia of the base of the stock of the E-11D is almost exactly 37mm or 1.46". Which makes them larger than 1.25". But his sling clips are 1.25" for sure. So is the strap too wide for those and we just can't see it in the reference? Or are the files wrong and the sling clips too small? Wondering if anyone has any more info on this subject? You can also see here the straps in the clips on the reference. But its hard to tell what's going on. If anyone has more pics of this from different angles or poses that would be great.

Another question. The files I have were made for a smaller person than me. I am scaling the armor up to fit me. But I am wondering about things like the belt buckle, ammo clips, grenades, pouches, etc. Should those be left the standard size so that they look consistent and intentionally smaller on me? Or should I scale them up so that when viewed on me, them look proportionate as if I were a normal sized trooper? I am 6'7". 270lbs. The armor looks like it was made for someone around maybe 6'3" 190lbs.

The main thing is regarding the different versions of the shins. They sent me 3 different versions with no info about what is different. Also have 3 different versions of the back armor. Trying to figure out if these versions are aesthetic changes or structural only? Was also hoping for some guidance on how all of the parts hold together. Like when it was designed, how did they intend the 3 parts of the separated shins to hold together with only the clip trim part on the top? Is there supposed to be Velcro used at what bottom? Or some other way to get them to stay together? Have lots of questions like that on the upper torso as well. Mainly was hoping for some form of instruction manual that passes along the information about how Tom was intending it all to go together when he designed it. I was also wondering about the straps that go over the shoulder. He has the modeled flat. But they have to be permanently curved too match the shoulder shape. Or they need to be flexible. Was he intending these to be printed in a flexible material? If so are there instructions on how to do this? Like what material he used? Or are they intended to just be printed and use as a template and then somehow made out of something else? Lastly I was wondering about the wrist straps on the left gauntlet. It's my understanding that those are supposed to be made out of rubber. But he has them as 3D printed parts. And once printed I don't see any way to get them onto the gauntlets themselves without breaking them or something. So I was curious how he had done this or planned to do this with the way he built his 3D files. I'm sure there's plenty of other little things that'll come up as well and was just hoping to have a way to contact him as I'm building in case I'm having troubles or get stuck.

Hello everyone! So I purchased Tom Campbell's files to make a Death Trooper a few years ago and got sidetracked with other projects. Now I am finally getting around to starting on it. I have no plans to finish this quickly. Going to take my time and have fun with it. But I do have many questions as I start to analyze the suit and see things that I had not considered. So I will just start asking questions. Since I don't have anything to show on my build yet. First one, on the thigh armor, there is some ribbing on the inside and outside of the armor. It looks rigid, but it also looks very similar to the flexible ribbing of the undersuit. Are these two parts supposed to be flexible? MCM Design's files (Previously known as MCM Design's files (Previously known as Tom's files)) has them as rigid printed parts.

I have all of the files. The full armor, DLT-19, SE-14, E11D. Only part that has instructions is the helmet has some assembly images and a template for making the visor.

Hello everyone! I purchased MCM Design's files (Previously known as Tom's files) about 2 years ago and just now getting around to printing them. But I have many questions. I never got a instruction doc or anything from him on how they all work together and what the different versions are. Anyway, trying to get ahold of him. Sent him a couple emails over the last week but no response yet. Wondering if someone on here knows how to contact him?
