Scratch build TIE Pilot chest box WIP

[Broadway204]

Well I finally broke down and started my TIE Pilot costume. I decided to start with the chest box and build from there. This is 100% scratch built and with the exception of the greeblies which I will order from Elvis Trooper, I'm happy with it so far. Here are a few progress pics from my Sunday home alone.

I'm using the plans I found here on the RPF for the general shape and size. This may not be 100% screen accurate but it will suit my costume just fine. Please let me know what you think and I invite any suggestions you have.

Thanks
Richard

i love the chest box so far, but the Tie Pilot helmet itself with be difficult(in my opinion) to scratch. lots of detail
can't wait to see it
