Gauntlet kit trouble

here we go, i took some pictures finally.. and well.. maybe you can see what i mean. aint the best pictures but you can see the areas needing attention, I just need a little help on where to start, i figured start with the left, its going to be ESB and if i can do the left, i can do the right, then ill worry about paintin em up. (and before you get onto me saying "thats not the left" these are pictures of the"deformities" i mentioned, and not just one arm targeted...)

you have to trim that bent in plastic off, there not perfect off the mold, nothing styrene is. and use your stovetop oven burner hold them over it a few seconds and you can get it inshape in no time, I even formed the inner pieces on the stove to fit inside the uppers.

well i know i need to trim, but how far is the main question. I was hoping someone had some good reference pictures, my kit didnt come with a cd, just the plastics really, and he threw in a few resin pieces outta kindness to me, I want these to work well, my others dont have to look as perfect, because of a minor thing iam doing to them.. posted on another forum "flamethrower" and its kinda a give away what Iam doing to them, but these are for Dragon Con and stuff, and I need them to look excellent, iam already years behind, I wanna make a good first impression. ESB details please.

There are some nice refference pictures on the tk90 site ( you know the one )

Just a quick question ... I had a idea as how to make the bottom halves fit the top halves, I'm going to cut the bottom halves in half and make them fit that way ( if that makes sense ) but how do I put the re-sized halves back together afterwards ?

Many thanks
