Re: Ash Chainsawhand help!
Okay time for an update with pictures!
Here's where I'm at so far -
Mostly sintra with a mdf support for the handle. I was going to laser cut the teeth for the saw but the cutter is on the blink. so these are just hand cut.
and the side panel
just blue foam skinned with plasticard and smoothed out with bondo.
Not my most accurate prop but it looks the part so far and is light as a feather.:thumbsup

Re: Ash Chainsawhand help!
Almost there!
Just got the first few coats of paint on. It ended up looking a lot beefier than the movie version but since I haven't really built anything for a while I'm pretty pleased so far.
Still needs a new handle and the fittings for the top plate and the wrist clamp along with other odds and ends. Should get those done tomorrow and then onto weathering.:thumbsup

You know, for a scratch built that looks really VERY good! I love the bar and the chainsaw teeth and really great! If you didn't put it next to a real Homelite you'd really never know it wasn't made from a real chainsaw!
I built one a few...ok, FIVE years or more ago out of a Craftsman i got for free from a small engine repair joint in Arizona. You technically don't NEED to use a Homelite but a good casing will always help.

Wow that really great looking...

That's incredible. But my only question is: DOES IT WORK? That would be taking this prop the next level.

Such a fun prop - it's so simple, but very iconic IMO.
I wonder if we will ever see a licensed replica?
Looking good boys! Lets see some pics in full costume!
