That looks great! I'm guessing you are doing a non-lit version.

Here's a shot of my Tie Pilot mannequin display with my scratch built control box. Put together when I had virtually no visual referal reference whatsoever. The main base of the box was an ice cube bin that I cut down.

Cheapest costume ever!
