1) I remember using single-edged razor blades for all of my modelling in jr. high and high school (apparently they were cheaper / easier to get than real Xacto blades). That included plastics, paper and balsa / tissue models (the worst!) It was miserable - basically I had a constant blister on my index finger.
2) I think I'll be able to use a spoon or the handle of my Xacto to smooth much of the creasing up once I get more of a structure to the assembly. I don't want to try it with just one section.
3) I personally would like to thank Ron for this contest and Popala for allowing (bribing even) my participation! Looking at the number of build threads involved is just incredible to see such participation from so many people in one project.
