Sawing the models apart at the waist was not as straight forward for some models as it was for the test figure. Some of them have details that extend across the waist line, for which some extra care needed to be taken.

This model has a decorative cord and presumably ceremonial dagger, that extend across its waist line.

A careful cut is used to separate the daggers hilt from the model, while leaving it attached to the dagger.

The same is being done for the cord.

After these two cuts had been made, the model could be sawn apart from the back. Once the saw meets the first two knife cuts, the model comes apart leaving the details attached. Which did not quite work out for the cord though.

The sergeant has similar blade and he is wearing a tabard. I used the same process to first remove the blade handle and then make the cut at the wais.
