Need some help...

[skraaal]

Here's a question...Has anyone ever glued models together using plastic glue (plastic models) then realized they need to be painted without the arms on in order to get to the chest details.


How did you removed the arms without destroying the whole model and needing to re sculpt parts in order to paint them?


I basically glued my entire Grey Knight army together then realized I needed to paint the torsos which are now obscured by their weapons and arms...


Any easy fixes? I appreciate all advice.

If it had been a larger more monsterous figure I'd have suggested a jewellers saw, but for single figures only thing I could suggest is a brand new and sharp blade to cut.
Having said that I'd personally not even try knowing my own skills would not be that good.

Yeh, the general consensus on the inter webs is that I just have the obstructed parts black or a a dark shadow and learn from it for the future. I guess I just have to put my perfectionist frame of mind out the window for this one and make the best of them as they are.
