Hacksaw, razor saw and a small grinder, air or dremel. Just finished cutting up my first tf2 body, worked pretty well.

I like to use a sanding drum in a drill press. The larger diameters make it a bit easier to get a smooth radius. You have to be careful with a smaller diameter Dremel. I use the same thing on lexan bodies.  |

 Must be those scissors that cut pennies. I think you mean lexan bodies, we're talking about hard bodies, you aren't cutting them with scissors. | |
