Prussian Landwehr

[dashing blade]

Just started to paint up a unit of Landwehr for a customer and thought the Warlord games plastics i was given seem a little squat. They paint up well though,my major gripe is my inability to cut the figures out of the sprues!
I know the knife is sharp, as my numerous cuts will testify, but the plastics like steel.
Every third man has no bayonet now , and several have slashed peaks.
How does anyone else do it?
