Description: Clone Commando Delta-62: “Scorch”
Prefix: RC
Detachment: Clone Trooper Detachment
Context: ’’Star Wars: Republic Commando (video game and novels)’’
Republic Commandos are elite trained soldiers of the Grand Army of the Republic. They are assigned to carry out operations too delicate for standard troopers, such as covert infiltration, sabotage, demolition, and assassination. Delta-62, known as “Scorch”, was a member of Delta Squad and served as the demolitions expert under Delta-38, “Boss”. Scorch was fond of the DC-17m’s Anti-Armor attachment, and cracked the most jokes of any other member of the squad; often at the expense of his pod-brother “Sev”. Scorch often forgot if wiring detonators required the order red-red-green or red-green-red.

For 501st membership only the requirements in black need to be met.
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.
Special Notes:
• The “Animated” armor design, seen in 2008 The Clone Wars Cartoon Series, differs from the “Realistic” armor design used to create characters from the theatrical films, video games, and graphic novels. See this thread at 501stclonetroopers.com for the differences between the sculpts. (This may require an additional forum account.)
• Armor parts shall be made from fiberglass, ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene), or a similar rigid material. This includes vacuum formed plastics as well as properly finished and smoothed 3D printed armor forms. See this thread at 501stclonetroopers.com for examples of acceptable and unacceptable levels of 3D print finishing.
• All numerical measurements given in CTD CRLs are approximate. Measurements should be followed as closely as possible while not affecting the proportionality of costume details. Proportionality should take precedence over exact measurements.
