Jeffry Fontaine:
Another type of cutting tool that is sometimes quite handy is the punch and die type manual nibbler.

The chain store called Radio Shack used to carry this type and that was where I found mine.  The cutting head is about 5mm X 5mm so it will nibble out substantial amounts of plastic or other material as you crunch away with it.  Though it works well, you still have to be careful to not proceed too fast on your path of destruction lest you cut away too much of your model, especially the part that you wanted to build.
