Now we have a Rifle it's time to arm the Guardsmen. For this I will be using Arms from the Irish at Jadotville kit but I also used other arms such as the ones from the US Navy kit.

Naturally we're going to need to cut the gun away as much as we can before we merge the new rifle. The split tool is used to cut away as many large chunks as possible.

In trying to cut off the lower part of the gun we have a problem, it cuts off too much of the sleeve. We'll need our trusty cube again.

The cube gives us a much cleaner cut and preserves the arm

Now we can place the rifle in position and see what else we need to cut. For this pose I'm going with a casual stock over arm walking pose. We can see here that we need to remove the cylindrical part before we merge them. The rest of the original gun will be inside the rifle and merged with it we we can ignore that.

Our trusty cube has failed us. Either we can't cut out enough or we cut too much, time for a change.

Introducing the cylinder. The same subtraction is done and we get...

... our arm ready for the merge. Notice the slight cut into the arm in blue, this is so tiny either it won't be noticed or will be covered up anyway.

The rifle is placed in it's final position.

Our blank Canvas

It's just a matter of lining up the arms now

and I forgot to save the arms and it crashed but here's another example. Now we've got a body, arms and a head, everythng we need to print our minis. I have resin in the mail so in the next week or two I will print a few out.
