I've done it on cheap chinese buckles to make them work with Nexus Fastex ones. I used a dremel but a file is probably better to make sure you take too much off. Buckles are cheap af though from places like Contact Left etc so replacing isn't the end of the world.

They moved from Little Chalfont to Reading under a new name, A2 Supplies, and are attached to the Mall. Whether its the "same" company now I'm not sure, but the same guys work there. https://a2supplies.co.uk/

The key to building an impression kit isn't spending all your money at once. Live within your means and build it up carefully and you'll be so satisfied when it's done. Plus the big money pits, like the rig set ups, can be easily switched for replicas and still look great, TMC JPC/AVS/CPC etc are decent enough for airsoft and relatively cheap (compared to the Crye equivalents anyway). Same for the helmet, no need to spend £££s on a real opscore, just grab an FMA repro, and build off of that.

If you do have footage, even if it's not of the incident itself, call 101 and try to talk to the Officer in charge of the case. Might help with the case if the footage puts the defendant at the scene for a few mins before the incident. 

Yeah, that was the one thing I was curious about. 

I always found all of mine (acquired 4 pairs lol) to fog up so personally I ripped all of the foam out of the goggles from around the edges. a lot better now.

I know the feeling.. I'm sitting here waiting for my new graphics card for the computer. I cant wait much longer lol.

It does get a bit tiring.

It looks fairly challenging to me! But, DPM trousers cost pennies, so go for it
