Clone troopers are an army of identical, genetically-modified clones, created to serve in the Grand Army of the Republic. Cloned and raised on the water world of Kamino, the clone troopers are trained from birth to serve as efficient military forces.

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.
