Ever try showing artists reference photos before they start? I keep a folder on my phone of rigging details for this exact reason, lol. @emmahayes knows how a quick chat with someone on the docks can save a whole project from looking silly. It's not about making it perfect, just getting the big shapes right so it feels real. Otherwise you end up with that scrap metal look, and nobody wins.

Totally, lost access last month and had zero records lol

Always use a loupe, man. I learned that the hard way with an old Canon FD lens.
