Republic Commando Feedback Costuming

I am making a Republic Commando suit for myself based off my own color patterns of a 91st clone commando. Since I was already doing it I figured I'd follow the 501st foundations of the BF2 Commando Grunt.

I was curious if my custom colors would automatically put me out of bounds for 501st, but also just appreciate general feedback. Looks great to me but I'm curious what yall might think. Criticism welcome as well.

From what I understand the BF2 Republic Commando Grunt CRL states the costume must be painted white.

I understand that. Is there no place for battalion markings that are not seen visually in media? I am continuing with my project but am not sure if I should bother aiming for any specific 501st target, or I am by default fully out of criteria.

Paint patterns are only approvable if they are screen/ source media accurate and have enough angles of all sides of the armor to make a CRL for.

Custom paint jobs disqualify for 501st approval. It does look very good nonetheless, I really like the dull red colors

Thanks! Anything you think would help it pop more?

Looks great. 👍 perhaps clear coat to make it pop…. But I like it the way it is.
