The trick is not to let the figure get hot. Dunk it in water every so 
often. The small router/cutter heads work wonders when reshaping
figures. 
I hollowed out the inside of a NAC Tico Cruiser model to make a derelict

ship. The hull penetrations actually have hollow spots inside. 

Its also great for making pin holes for mouinting heavy parts. As well
as 
grinding flash of of big pieces. Just keep those working parts clean and

cool and they will last a long time.
