I've done a very basic chop shop style on my kits before. The Japanese WW2 kit in TU with the figures were altered by chopping the kits up at the wrist, elbow, knee and interchanging heads. You can glue them back and use putty to sculpt the clothing back at the joins as long as you are not too fussy on how the clothes crease and fall.
Alternatively, use a paper clip as a joining member. Embed a small section on the torso and later join at the arms, legs in sections. Turn and adjust the angle as you deem fit and then putty over . |

2 ways: if you need a clean cut, use a miniature saw. I do not bother with that as usually after I cut up the limbs, I normally reposition them so a clean cut does not matter. I usually just cut them up with a side cutter. After that put a good amount of liquid cement to melt the parts to be joined. Repair the joins with putty after that.

Warhammer, Loo has pretty much covered it. The only other thingy I can think off is to start simple. Start with Minor adjustments as too major can result in a need for a lot of puttying and sanding to avoid making the arm or leg too short or too long. As a suggestion maybe try it out on elbows and knees and only when your comfortable wrists and ankle joints.
For me I started with a lot of swapping hands and legs. After getting a feel for how arms and legs bend naturally and the fold of clothes correspond to the bend I started cutting arms at the elbows. If you can post some pics perhaps both me and Loo can assist you better. |

Sorry Warhammer, have to be slightly off-topic for a while to deal with these jokers. I was actually thinking of replacing your head Kenny with Zaidi and Zaidi's head with Loo and Loo with yours. After thinking it over it would be an improvement anyway.  |

If you are a beginner in figure modelling, stay away from a/m Hornet heads for now. Only our Beachbum is having hornet for his heads.

Warhammer if you could be a bit more specific which fig you want to work on perhaps we can assist you by walking you through it especially with photos.
