DESCRIPTION:
TIE fighter pilots served in the Starfighter Corps of the Imperial Navy by piloting the various TIE Series starfighters. Distinguished by all-black flight suits and bulky, fully enclosed, vacuum-sealed helmets, the Galactic Empire at its height produced millions of TIE pilots and generally considered them expendable assets. The TIE pilots formed the elite of the Imperial Navy's Flight Branch.
They were referred to as "bucketheads" by Rebel pilots, due to their bulky helmets. Within the Imperial forces they were often referred to as "coffin jockeys" due to the high mortality rate of those manning the vulnerable TIE fighters, a holdover from the Galactic Republic's use of clones during the Clone Wars prior to the Empire's formation. Among the pilots, they were known as "vac-heads" and "ground-hogs," in reference to their roles in the Navy and Army, respectively, due to a significant rivalry between the two factions.


When I was building my Tie Pilot Cosplay costume, this was the only part I had trouble finding.

So the theory is that the tie pill box originally was a record player stylus box/container from the 70s.
There was a recent Propstore auction, with a tie pilot helmet, which showed the remains of a clear lid with a white painted edge, which the stylus boxes had... anyway, if you don't want to make your own, just find one of these and slap a bit of paint on. If you do want to make your own, here's the model.

Measurements - 60 x 38 x 8 mm

Enjoy!
