Is there such a thing out there?? I could do with one as I can't cut a straight line regardless of what I use, plus I want to do some angles too.

Try any office shop.  Alternatively, look on EvilBay.   There are usually quite a few for sale there.  Anything that will cut paper card will usually do sheet steyrene.   I recently purchased an "office paper trimmer" for the same task and it works fine.

I've used one of those 'Clamp in place and slide the cutter' types for cutting sheets of styrene too., worked a treat.

And the office staff never noticed it missing overnight either.....  ;)

Same as me - got it cheap in the local stationary/school/college shop. WH Smiths have some cheap in the sales at the moment. Noticed them when I got my new shredder this am

Nice one chaps, I will take a look in WHSmiths when next in town. I really do need one so I can do some more scratch builds.
