I'm not threatening to recast. Sorry if it sounds like that. I'm going to be working on a new version of an ANH helmet. The dome will not be from a "ugly" one. I'm using a helmet that i already have as a base to complete the dome. The front is going to a have more than considerable amount of rework it will not replicate any ones work. Nothing is going to be recast from anyone. I will document the process to show it is not a recast. Thanks

Then what is all this talk about you having two Darth Uglies being shipped to you?

What will your mask and dome source be?

Received additional threats and trolling via PM. This needs to be brought out into the open. I offered an olive branch, and this is what I got.

JediJeffrey took my words of collaborating with him on another sculpt and twisted into saying that I have him "permission" to recast Darth Ugly.

Well I suppose even JediJeffrey, the self-proclaimed "father" of ugly, needs to make some offspring....

But honestly, dude, you're 42. Find something better to do. You have talent to make a difference in people's lives. Try something.

42 ? Really ? :wink:

Some beautiful shots by scottjua of his Ugly ESB. It's nice seeing people so happy with these. These helmets feel like my kids, so I enjoy seeing them in new homes. Makes it like I oversee an adoption center! :thumbsup

Haha I'm so glad you finally finished it Mac! and even better you did some casts!

Looks great, defiantly a turn around from what it used to look like, I hope you pleased with the results. I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate all the work you put into your restoration projects and all the documentation on them. There's not many fan made helmets with a complete thread showing the build!

Propmaker "bookface" has posted a sneak peak of the Darth Ugly ROTJ.

Tusks and mesh are still being worked on but that's pretty near final.

Curious - where did you get that Imperial Insignia mask stand too?

scottjua · **Posted:** Mar 11 2026 02:48:42

I got it from a guy who sells them on THERPF, but he's local to me too luckily.
