toe modeling?

I need to model a foot with toes and can;t get that right.
Imagine the pod's foot with three toes. I tried to model the pod foot. All good. Now I tried everything to 'cut' it up so I end up with three sections which I can bevel to make them look round, like round toes. I seem to be on the wrong path as I cannot find tools to get this done. The closest was a rail revolve which, due to the restrictions, did not work but create geometry over boundaries.
Ideas?
Cheers
