Built to CRL Standard
Every build that leaves the workshop is measured against the 501st Legion's Costume Reference Library — whether the goal is membership or just a screen-accurate build for your own collection.
That means correct proportions, correct greeble placement, and a finish that holds up to close-range new-member inspection, not just in photos.
