X-Acto knife with a brand new blade. To keep the part from moving or twisting hold it gently to the table with a pencil eraser, still on the pencil so it acts as a holding stick.

[edit] The two British ships came without photo-etched parts, but there are several good sources for WW1-era railings and masts, so I'll be getting those soon.
