So this will mark my first fully assembled costume. I'm still in the assembling stage but thanks to some screen caps and internet resources I've identified all, save one, components of the costume.
The costume is made up of the following:
-Black spandex undersuit with a turtleneck (I substituted it with black BDUs and a Hatch Centurion Kevlar neck protector which are more realistic and practical). The BDUs are probably the easiest thing to find. The neck seal isn't necessary depending on how big your neck is and/or if you use a certain type of helmet which may cover your neck completely. Regardless its easy to find, I got mine off amazon.
I may dye the BDUs a darker black as they've faded over the years.
-Hatch Centurion KP250 Knee Pads These are pretty easy to acquire, I got them off eBay but they are still readily available.
-Hatch Centurion EP 300 Elbow Pads Pretty much the same situation as the knee pads.
-Black Nylon Pistol web belt with the quick release buckle Again a very simple and easy to get item.
-Hatch Dominator RG800 Riot Gloves These gloves gave me the most trouble as they aren't that readily available anymore and are pretty expensive but I got mine for under $50.
(Picture of gloves to come)
-Arai Tracker GT Helmet in black with a black visor I didn't research this helmet to much but after a brief look around I found the price to be a bit high, over $150 and a bit hard to find. So Instead of getting that helmet I used an old bike helmet that looked similar in white I found on the side of the road during one of my towns last bulk pickups! I'm glad I turned around and got it. :lol
I cleaned it up, took all the stickers off, removed the visor and painted it black
My cat loves to have get in my pictures :rolleyes
But the next step is to tint the visor black which apparently you can easily do with Rit Dye. Pics to come.
-Blackhawk! Omega VI Tactical Drop Down/Leg pistol holster I watched the movie again recently and took some screen grabs and noticed that the elastic that goes around the leg had black and grey stripes which looked very familiar and then I realized that they were the same holsters used in Stargate SG-1! So if you want to kill two birds with one stone heres a good chance. Although they're easy to find I didn't order this holster as it's a bit pricey (anywhere between $40-$120)! So instead I got a UTG holster. I'll get it eventually.
-Blackhawk! Omega Elite M16 Drop Down/Leg Pouches Again these are very expensive (between $40-$80) for some reason, but it can also be used for an SG-1 costume as well. I'm going to substitute it with a similar item for much less.
(Pics to come)
-Hatch Centurion CPX 1000 Body Armor This armor has since been discontinued and is very hard to find but Hatch has made newer models that, to me, look identical. It's the CPX 2000 and the CPX 2500. I ordered the 2500 as its the easiest to find. Look around a bit to compare prices as they range between $50-$100.
-Two Umbrella Corp Crossed sword patches which are 2.5 inches by 2.5 inches. These are attached to the shoulder protectors on the main body armor. They can be found on eBay but are usually 3 or 3.5 inches each and may have "Umbrella" written on it. I ordered two that had "Umbrella" written on it and plan on cutting and adjusting them accordingly. These patches go on the shoulder pads of the body armor.
This is 2.5 wide by about 3 long. I really don't mind the dimensions but the "Umbrella" written on it was annoying. Instead of cutting it I just took a seam ripper and removed it.
-Black Tactical Boots I haven't managed to figure out what brand of boots they are but there is a good shot in the movie that shows the bottom of a pair so if anyone is good at identifying them I'll throw it up and see if anyone can ID it. But for now I'm just going to use my Magnum Response boots.

On to weapons.
As for weapons anyone of these airsoft guns will do for the main guns:
-MP5
-SIG 550/552
-Micro Galil
-G36C
-SOCOM 16 M1A
-UMP-9
-Barett M82A1
All were used by Umbrella Personnel in the movie but any common rifle will do (example M4).
For the pistols I don't think they showed any guards pull out they're side arms but the main pistol used by Umbrella throughout the movie was the Baretta 92FS but again any common pistol should do (USP .45, Glock 18, etc)
Finally some guards had throwing knives on them.
-United Cutlery UC1255 7.25" Lightening Bolt throwing knives I didn't buy them as I plan on going to cons in this costume but they are easy to get and cheap. Might pick them up for the hell of it some day.
So with that you now know everything you need to get in order to become a Centurion. Hopefully this helps some people out. I'm still in the process of collecting, ordering and assembling my costume and I'll be updating this thread whenever I get new things in/done.
A last note here are two websites that helped me greatly identify some items.
