Cutting DPM Kit walls
Hi all-
I'm kitbashing the DPM C. Smith Packing House (kit 203) to form a portion of my engine house and I need to make an opening large enough for an engine to get in and out of it. What I'm struggling with is how to cut the opening.
The walls of the DPM kit are much thicker than the typical plastic kit so I can't score/snap. I was thinking about scoring the back and then cutting it with a razor saw but I'm concerned that I won't be able to get a clean, straight cut. Any suggestions would be welcomed.
Thanks!
