I have a real hard time with razor blades. It works find for cutting strait, but what about when you guys cut round areas? Is there an easier way?

I have two pair of Lexan scissors, one curved and one straight.

$20 for both an cosidering a body is 20 and a slip with a razor will ruin it, I know I did it!:doh:
 
I use a dremel with a cut off disk then sand it down with a sanding drum..works pretty good.I can stand using scissors.
 
I would have to go with Tiny Maxx on this one. I exclusively use a Dremel. I know you think they are expensive, but you can pick up a cheap one for like $40. I think I have the cheapest one out there, and it was like $32, with some accesories. It will save you a headache in the long run. Not to mention you will find many more uses for it. Save yourself some money and pick one up. Just my .02

Hey lil phuck stick welcome to the site with your little 1000+ smiley posts. Don't hate the players hate the game biotch.
 
I use a dremel with a fluted type of drill bit for general trimming. For the fine details I use the sanding drum.
 
Curved lexan scisors and dremel sanding drums for finishing and difficult places to cut.
 
These for cutting:

These for trimming, smoothing, vent holes and body post holes:

I am thinking about buying one of these for cutting the bodies out:

Like everyone else I use the curved lexan scissors to cut out the body and the dremel to smooth out the rough edges and to cut out the vent holes.
