Lego Ash Rebuild
I recently decided to do the rebuild of my old Evil Dead Lego Ash that I built years ago. Thanks to Smokebelch's help on the torso he used in his awesome custom: www.flickr.com/photos/smokebelch/3616912100/ I was able to finish mine. I went for a different head and hair piece, but most of this figure was made using Speed Racer minifig parts.
The head is from the Grey Ghost minifig as I liked that expression the best. I believe the left arm came from a Lord of the Rings figure but I have NO idea who the hair belonged to. I got it alone off eBay and the listing was just for a "Black Lego Hair" so that's that.
The chainsaw is based on the original I made seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/28614123@N07/3151651374/in/set-7215... This new one I had planned out some time ago as a replacement. It's just a red 1X1 brick with the T handle on the side.Like on my original, I modded it by removing the peg on the top and carefully sanding and polishing the end and then drilling the peg hole for the bar to peg into. I shortened the chainsaw bars peg to the bare minimum length and then using a toothpick I carefully dribbled drops of glue inside to keep the bar in place. Unlike the original where there was a peg on one side, the disc on the side that mimics the pull-start was sanded down and had to be glued on and on the far side, a 1X1 black tile was sanded down VERY thin and glued on to be the exhaust. Nice thing about this setup is that the saw requires no special tricks to get onto his arm. The standard Lego minifig hand fits inside PERFECTLY. Additionally the handle on top means the saw can be hand held easily.
Only other detail I added was my original vinyl back holster. Only need to make the shotgun which I plan to use a Brickarms sawed off double barrel as a base.
