Taking a HT Body Apart

[IDMCustoms]

Has anyone taken a HT muscle body / clone or a normal TT body apart? I'm trying to sculpt a more realistic upper body and wanting to use the lower body, but I can't seem to take these things apart. Even after taking off all the screws, it seems like the body is glued or welded together and impossible to come apart.

Yeah frustratingly they glue the bottom halves together. I had to use a dremel to saw into one side of the bottom at the seam and then wedge it open. The other seams pop out after some leverage. Though one side now has a big gap in it where it was cut. Can easily glue back together with araldite and then sand polish off the excess. I'm currently trying to crack open the bottom of a worldbox body. Those things are welded pretty tough.

Thanks BM! Yeah I figured that they glued it. The other body parts come off super easy except that darn hip!
