...you're about to take a razor saw to a piece of a kit, not just random stock styrene.

It came out okay. Goal is the kitbash below. The Walthers papermill isn't really big enough to be convincing, so I'm re-purposing the back wall, which would be invisible anyway:

What's that tool?

What's your piece secured to?  Looks like a genius idea to get straight cuts.

BTW How'd the first cuts go?

It's a Northwest Shortline

It's a Northwest Shortline Duplicutter. The cut came out like this (a little bit slanted; I think I didn't manage to get the saw quite straight along the fence, but not enough to notice):

Miter

Sometimes I have turned the piece over and then used a straight edge and a hobby knife to score a cut line on the outside face of the wall, that way the cut falls along the brick lines then go back and use a saw to cut all the ay through.

Great use for the duplicator

Nice idea, I just cut some walls yesterday myself and never thought of it.  Thanks for posting,
