I'll have it to you ASAP
I apologize to anyone who's been trying to get a hold of me for the past couple of weeks. I had a massive project come up and I've been working 15-hour days in order to meet a very rushed deadline. I'm just now getting a minute to breathe and catch up on shipping and correspondence. Thank you for your patience.

It turns out my molds for the TIE Pilot chest boxes decided to fail. That's the bad news. The good news is that it finally gave me a chance to address a few minor inaccuracies I had on my original prototypes. After smoothing out a set of the cast parts, they looked about like so:
Most of the changes are pretty subtle. I decided to make the latch for the middle box as a separate casting. Same goes for the square buttons on the left box. The biggest change was moving the fork on top of the right box so that it would be (correctly) off-center.
Then they were boxed up for molding:
The detail bits were molded separately:
The molds came out much better this time:
The castings came out pretty good:
They should look great once they're painted and assembled:
I'm about to be on the road again for the next week or so, but once I get back I'll be painting up all of the finished sets of TIE armor and helmets that people are (very patiently) waiting for.
As always, if you're interested in getting in on this run, please post here and I'll PM you with the details.
I'm now all caught up on orders for raw cast kits. If you've sent me a deposit and I haven't sent you a payment request for the balance yet, please PM me with your paypal address and the date you sent the deposit.
For those of you that are waiting on fully-finished pieces, I have all of them trimmed and I'm touching up a few spots here and there before they'll go under primer.
If anyone else is interested in getting in on this run, please post here and I'll PM you with details.

Make sure you post pics when you get everything put together.
I haven't written a tutorial yet. Mostly because I haven't finished a complete set from my own kit yet.
I'm out of the shop this week doing my annual training with the Navy Reserve, but once I'll get back I'll be churning out a few finished sets. I'll make a how-to in the process.
If anyone else wants to get in on this run, please post here and I'll PM you with details.
