I have been using this hot-wire lately, for cutting up body and miscellaneous parts quickly, instead of using a saw or knife. It's original purpose is to cut styrofoam insulation, for doing railroad layouts landscaping. Most of the time, I freehand the cut, going beyond the final line and then filing/sanding down to final shape. In the case of stretching the body, I went along a steel ruler to get a straight line. Sometimes, if the final result is sort of hidden, I keep some of the jagged edge, to give bite for the superglue. I also make styrofoam cutouts to keep a finished model secure in the box. Sure beats sawing! You could cut out doors, but the wire could melt the window frame.
