If you were sadistic (and confident) a thin-bladed saw could do the trick,
then re-attach the two halves with 1/3 plates. I wouldn't try it because I
value my hull sections too much, but maybe some other intrepid lego-man
could try. Of course, if anyone wants to sacrifice an extra piece, I;ll
take it down to my shop and saw away!
