Title: 28mm Chainsaws - where can I find them?
Post by: Sinewgrab on January 07, 2020, 06:43:21 AM: So, I want to build a wall of hanging chainsaws (don't ask, it's a rather dumb commercial that plays here in the States), and I need a source of just that - chainsaws.

Anyone know where I can get them at a reasonable cost? I really don't want to have to try and cast one off of a painted figure.

Or if you can get hold of the old wargames factory / project Z(?) survivor packs they had several on the sprues.

Post by: MagpieJono on January 07, 2020, 12:50:00 PM: How many of them are you after? I can spare 8 from the above mentioned Project Z weapon sprues however I'm in the UK so postage to the states might be a factor.

Ideally, about 10. I have found 3 in my collection (of the female survivor sprue mentioned above - which I had forgotten until now). Considering the best I found otherwise is one for around $3 each, a padded envelope is likely to be cheaper.

I can send you the 8 that I have. The ones on the male and female sprues are exactly the same size. Postage to you would be £3.50 non tracked.
Send me a PM if you're interested.

Car insurance. Plays off the dumb choices the victims make in slasher movies.

Post by: Sinewgrab on February 09, 2020, 05:18:29 AM: Thanks. It's my wife's fault - she put the thought in my head.

How I built it is in the the end of this thread.

So, found it in 1/43 and Matchbox brand/scale.
But Siku makes a Mini Cooper Cabriolet. Siku is what 1/55 scale as i recall? Right?

Post by: Sinewgrab on February 10, 2020, 02:04:25 PM: It might be, but I am trying not to break the bank here, and Siku is not easy to find in the States.

Too true. I was referring though to the sillyness of the commercial and did not mean to imply anything lacking in your wonderful diorama! I am sure it would make even a matchbox version look fine.

Post by: Sinewgrab on February 13, 2020, 01:47:46 AM: I'm just going to use one of my little cars for it - they feel more Falloutish than a Cooper.

Post by: Corporal Chaos on February 14, 2020, 04:08:34 AM: I think that would be Ace! Those are just as cool if not more so. I hope you will share a few pictures of the game when it happens.
