When swapping legs on a DCUC, is it easier to separate at the hip or the thigh cut?

When swapping legs on a DCUC, is it easier to separate at the hip or the thigh cut?

What I do when cracking a figure is to heat the figure in very hot water to get the glue soft. Then to remove the legs on a DCUC figure I take a large knife and pry the bottom waist seam open. When I first started I use to try this with a hobby knife, but you can't get the leverage that you need to pop the seam apart... Plus I've cut myself a few times because of that as well. Below is a picture of the knife that I use now.

This week I've been working on trying to catch up on commission work all for the same commissioner.

First was a repair job. He purchased grungethemovie's awesome 90's Hulk. Which is beautifully sculpted, but at one point or another it took a tumble. Which broke the head and chipped up the paint on the body. When a he told me that he had a modified Select hulk figure that had a broken head, so I told him that I would be more than happy to fix it for him. And I was taken for a huge surprise when I opened the box and it was grungethemovie's incredible 90's Hulk in there.




After repairing the fractures on the head and adding a little color to the eyes I touched up the paint on the head and body I applied to good sealer and then sprayed it with a dullcoat. I just can't get over how awesome grungethemovie's sculpting is, and I took a lot of pictures show off all of that sculpting work.









With this one he is wanting a mix of the original Toybiz Archangel with the new Hasbro one. So far I modified the wing connector to fit on the Toybiz body, and I had to make an adapter for the neck using a ROML Ghost Rider neck to fit the Hasbro head on to the old body.





He is also wanting to have an alternate body for a custom Samuel Alexander Nova that he already had to have an older Nova. So I've started sculpting Nova's new alternate body.
