Big difference in cutting away a 1/700 piece and 1/350-1/200 piece. In 1/700 some manufacturers attached printing sprues to some of the most delicate detail for support. In the process of cutting you sometimes lose the delicate detail..
Sometime ago, I asked for good method to detach 3-D printed parts without damaging them and got good tip of using photo-etched cutter. I tried and it worked. I recently heard of using ultrasonic cutter. I ordered mine from Micro-Mark and just tried. It is quite expensive, but it works great. It is highly recommended.
