I wanted to do what NECA should have done with the Dead space plasma cutter and that was put life into it and make it so it could pivot to the alternate fire mode. So first I cut the cutter in half and used a tiny drill bit since there wasn't a lot of space to work with and made a hole on both parts. I then used a small metal rod and glued it into the front half of the cutter. I then put it together and there you go able to vertical and horizontal fire the plasma cutter. I also repainted it so it wasn't the dumb neon orange color. simple but I like to custom weapons and accessories for figures.
