Here's the nibbler

and there are a few Chinese hand punch sets out there you can pick up for cheap just to play around with.

I tried making a few Marx-type chassis and Brit O scale body parts. You can find some custom pics on www.marxtin.com Click the 'customs' tab on the right.
Best thing is to lay out on paper or Strathmore and get a mock-up made before ya start nibblin'. I used to save smooth tin cans for messing around but they are rarer now. As electroliner says, tinplategirl.com has flat sheets.
After that you can get into die-making and buying up old punch-presses and sell to the rest of us!
