Prefix: TC
Detachment: Clone Trooper Detachment
Context: The Clone Wars, seasons 1-3

Boil serves in the Grand Army of the Republic as a Platoon Sergeant and member of Ghost Company, a unit within the 212th Attack Battalion. Hardened by war and eager for combat, Boil often displays a strict, "by the rules" attitude. But, given the proper circumstances, Boil is very capable of showing compassion for those this soldier fights to protect.

This is a visual guide used for 501st costume approval, not a how-to for construction. Construction details are found at the costume's Detachment website. Measurements provided here are generalized, and not criteria for approval. All 501st costumes are proportionate to the wearer in terms of size, fit, and scale. During evaluation, both text and images (CRL and Reference) must be considered. When in doubt about a feature of a submitted costume, GMLs should post questions in the Legion forum's DL/GML peer review section.
