Ok guys I went ahead and followed my instincts.  I fired up the router
tonight
and gave it a shot.    I must say I'm pleased to report that it did an
excellent
job.  Took me about 10-15 minutes to hollow out the base of the
dropship, and it
has a nice clean profile that will need minimal sanding.  The routing
produced
no cracks or melting, just a large quantity of white resin flakes which
look
about like soap flakes.  I was so proud of it I took it down to the shop
and
showed it around.

Now that I'm done going nuts about it, any one have any helpful tips on
getting
a nice finish on a resin model?

Thanks for all the help.  If anyone wants specifics on what I've done to
this
poor ship let me know.	I hope to have pics up at some point in the
future after
it's done.

Bill
