[GZG] Converting 25mm Resin vehicles



My TOE for my 25mm SG platoon calls for one mortar vehicle.  I'd like to use a modified Wombat APC as that is the APC I am using for the platoon.

My thought was to fill the void with a resin pour.  Then I would cut the troop compartment off and carve the cutoff surfaces.

Questions:

Is this the best way to go about it or should I make a mold of the wombat and fill in the parts I don't want with modelling clay?

If I do the hack and grind method what is the best way to cut resin?  Will a hot-wire cutter cut it?  handsaw?  I'd think a circular saw would be a bit much.

Can I carve it with a wood-burning tool or will I need to use a dremel?

Just FYI I will be ordering 4 more wombats to use as APCs in the near future.  I'm not planning on molding any extras.
