Description: Clone Captain Rex (Phase 2)
Prefix: CC
Detachment: Clone Trooper Detachment
Context: The Clone Wars, season 4
Season 4 introduced new helmets and armor for the clones. This time Rex has a unique helmet sculpt, worn only by him.

Important: Since the armor has been updated significantly, a Clone Wars phase 2 Armor sculpt is required for approval. Phase 1 animated and/or movie style armor are not acceptable.

The 501st approval requirements are listed in black.

In the page below, items listed in blue are recommended features that will improve the quality of the costume. Items listed in red are intended to further enhance the finished costume.

For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.

IMPORTANT: Effective June 1 2012, the 501st will no longer be approving realistic interpretations of Clone Wars CG characters. The armor sculpt must match the character being recreated. See this thread at clonetroopers.net for the differences between the sculpts.

• This CRL is a work in progress.
• While this costume must be approved by the Legion Membership Officer, submissions should still go to the local GML, who will post the application in the appropriate section of the Legion forum.
• If you have this costume and would like to assist with this CRL, please contact your detachment leader!
• Please note that the use of the word "should" below does not indicate that a requirement is optional. All instances of should will be replaced with must as this guide is completed.
