The Lowes Haunted Mansion caretaker is pretty decent but there are a couple of things that bother me about it. Facial expression is great but needed some serious work with paints to make it more effective. Clothes - too new!…but the worst was the left hand holding a totally wrong shovel design. Yes, I'm nitpicking but the OEM one plain sucks.

Here's my effort at correcting the design. You can see a video on my YT channel as well : 

Left hand is more realistic. Positioning is rotated 90 degrees and opened up to more closely model the figure in the ride. 

To replace the OEM, it's 2 Philips head screws that come out, pull the hand off, install the new hand and reinstall the screws. Should take less than 2 minutes to swap them out.

For this to be TRULY effective, the shovel also needs modified. I'm working out the handle redesign now and should have that posted within the next day or two with real world print examples. The shovel mods will be minor as well. 

I highly recommend being prepared for some paint work too but I hope others find this useful.
