Dremmel - glad I listened to Techno

I just use a regular pin to make a start hole.  Then either a pin vise with a bit or the Dremel to drill the hole.

That should work fine, 'K'.  :)

(I've just got far too many 'odds & sods' that'll do the job.  ;))

I don't have or use a Dremmel, but use a small modeling hand drill. Even so, and especially since we are talking very small models, I always use a biology pin (a small wooden dowel [probably plastic today as I've hand mine for 40 years now] with a long pin in the end) to make a starter hole. Then I start drilling with a really small bit, then one a little larger and if need be a larger one. Sounds time consuming but avoids ruining the model most of ht time.
