I notice that there are number of figure manufacturers that have figures with double jack saws and axes. I model in HO, and in our town, we’ve had some storms that knocked branches down. Our church is in the middle of its mission week, and we go around town and help those that can’t help themselves. I’d like to model one of those cleanup scenes; does anyone know who makes figures with chainsaws?

The Woodland Scenics Smoke Jumpers set might be ideal. One of the figures has a chain saw

I checked them out and they’re all wearing hard hats, firefighting gear. I was looking for more generic figures. But, thanks anyway.
The guy with the chainsaw is wearing a silver hardhat and a yellow shirt or coat, really looks as much like a telephone or power company repair guy - or someone from a municipal or county clean up crew - as a firefighter to me. You could file the helmet to look more like a hat and repaint the shirt if you want it to look like one of the residents clearing debris.
The above mentioned set is pretty close and useful, but people have been looking for “modern” logging figures for years and…

Marlon,
I think the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre II” packet from Woodland Scenics should do the trick. [:o)]

I don’t know about HO.
An N scale figure USED to be able to buy several models of chainsaws at Hervil’s Saw Shop and Hardware in Johnston, Texas on my East Texas District of the Santa Vaca and Santa Fe Rwy.
But I dismantled the East Texas District to build the Island Seaport.
Meanwhile, I am writing a script about a maniac who is exploiting the obsession of “some” women (I will be quick to say I do not consider them typical) who will undergo anything for the latest beauty craze. The film is to be called The Texas Chainsaw Manicure.
You will probably have to do some “plastic surgery” to get what you want. I changed some hard hats to baseball caps by filing the ridges from the hats & gluing on a paper brim. Really not as hard as it seems.You can also file or sand the heavy coat down & repaint. You will have the only models like it in the world. jerry
