Hi Rich hope the holiday was enjoyable mate, now as for limbs.... the way i have been taught to do this is say you want to bend a persons legs down like they are when sitting, i will take my saw and cut a slight V shape out of the back of their knees then light a candle and carefully apply a little heat to the legs just until they become moveable, move them back to the required position then set the figure aside to cool, this technique can be applied to bodies and arms too. However it all depends on how much movement you want to show.
