Hi Angel

Hannah said thanx for your comment.

As to what type of tools you use to cut out your bodies I use a pair of good strong scissors ,curved scissors, and a very very sharp hobby knife (please dont cut any body parts or fingers off this is also a disclaimer :mellow: )and I use a Dremel tool with a disc cutter attached sometimes (Google if you dont know what they are).When using the hobby knife again very very sharp new balde I go over the body in small sections etching it with the hobby knife usually have to go over it 2 or 3 times maybe more depending on the pressure you are using go over the same original line you cut etched into your body Dont use your hobby knife like a saw this will only result in you going too far with the hobby knife and cutting into your lexan body then its bin time for that body and back onto ebay for another :D .Patience helps in cutting out a lexan body small cuts with the scissors or hobby knife will result in a better finish you can always tidy up the body when its cut out .I usually find doing mine in small stages is best as you can sometimes concentrate too much and loose your focus on the job its best then to have a break do something else for a spell .Stuart
