Rough Rider Standard Bearer Modification

Inspiration
Since I have been able to acquire enough arms with laspistols and chainswords, I have decided to modify this Rough Rider standard bearer.  I several of these, so I wanted to use some of them to make an assault Rough Rider.

Tools
The tools necessary for this modification are a razor saw, a modelling knife, a file, and a pin vice with appropriately sized bits.

Materials
You will need the Rough Rider standard bearer torso, the Rough Rider legs, the Cadian SGT laspistol arm and chainsword arm, some pinning wire, and some super glue.

The Modification
You will need to drill pinning holes into the torso and the legs so that you can pin them together.  Using a razor saw, you will need to remove the left arm of the standard bearer torso.  Using the file, make sure that the surface of the left shoulder is smooth so that the chainsword arm can be glued on well.  On the right arm, you will need to drill a hole that will accomodate the knob.  Once this is accomplished, you can glue the right arm on.  Attach the legs to the torso.
