This is an update of the my original Playmobil City Fire Department's custom gasoline powered rescue demolition/salvage circular saw. I was finally, with the help of a fellow Playmofriend able to obtain some of the other color combination chain saws that are available through DS. The red/yellow, green/yellow, & the orange/black series. As I've previously customized 8 of the red/yellow chain saws, I have currently updated all of the cut off circular blades with a new type as discussed by PM's with Playmofire after his feedback regarding the original saw blade being too thick. The new versions are shown customized with the current updates including the blade, & colors. BTW, all saws can be converted back to their original chain saw status.
I hope you like the new customs.

Cool tools and very clever usage of the fuel tank cap. Looking at the (closeup) pics I must admit, that Tim_W has a quite well harmonized suite: the red jacket/pullover/trousers together with the yellow gloves matching to the yellow patterns of the pullover (and the color accent of the green drill) ... didn't realized this so far ...

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback about this project! It is greatly appreciated!

Great job on the cut off saws Bill . I too like the orange one best, it just looks more of a realistic color, similar to a Husqvarna or a Stihl

Thank you Little Jo! My version of Tim_W's avatar is a slight bit different than his original. I tried to duplicate it as close as I could with parts from my own collection, & this is the result! I did put a red cap on his head due to the ear protectors not staying in place, added the yellow work gloves, & he has plain red pants instead of the silver striped pattern on the pants sides. All I can say is his pants got dirty working on PCFD fire engine E113 that was experiencing a pump problem, & was required to change them for the picture ;D!

Thank you for the pictures of the real life saws, Ras! Yes, I truly like the orange, & black ones the best, although I'm still trying to get my hands on several of the blue & red ones just to make sure ;)!

Great job Bill, I too am partial to the Stihl colored saws, love those cutoff blades! I really like that you have other avatars available to help you out, nice touch.

Thank you Gepetto! I like having fellow avatars involved in my photo stories now! It gives a family oriented touch! I wish I had enough figure parts to do more, like Ras, Little Jo, & others! Next, I challenge you to design a personal avatar for yourself made from Klicky parts ;)! I do occasionally use a different figure body if I don't have an exact replica available, but try to remain strict about not changing the head, & hair so the original avatars likeness is retained with just a change of clothes :lol:!

Great looking saws, Bill. I really like the orange and black one the best. What is the part number for the orange saw?

Bill, did Engine 113 fail its pump testing?

When I first chose my Gepetto avatar I thought it would be easy to create a likeness, but the more I tried the more elusive it became. I am still working on creating a Playmobil avatar but it has been tougher than I thought to get the right feel with the pieces.

Out of curiosity, I can see how most of the custom was built, ¿but what’s the tip made from? The part, I mean. I want to say a motorcycle part, but that’s just a wild guess…

The main bar is made from a semi flexible piece of plastic, that is custom fitted, & shaped. It is non Playmobil.

Thanks for the comprehensive review of the new cutters, Bill. They all look very smart, but my favourite is the orange and black version.

Hi Ben,
Thank's for the positive review regarding the rescue saws.
The orange & black chainsaw part number is 30651912 from set 4084. It will be available on the new ladder truck 4820 coming soon.
While Tim was visiting PCFD, E113's on board water tank to pump valve was not operating consistently, & needed some work done to correct the problem!
