ZeroWolf's Painting Trials

I think using a smaller drill bit would be quite helpful - its very difficult to correctly place the drill for the exact size of hole you want, as it leaves you with little or no margin of error.  Go with a smaller drill bit, then you can always widen the opening of the hole with a exacto type knife - also, using that technique, it doesn't matter so much if the hole is exactly centred, as you can widen any particular "side" of the hole only to the extent it needs it.

 

That said, I have plenty of my own "burst muzzles" of my own across my armies.

Yeah, I'll be definitely investing in smaller (and larger) drill bits of my own. If anything this has shown me that the size wouldn't do what I originally intended it for (magnetising a Hive Tyrant) as the holes wouldn't be the right fit for the magnets I bought.

 

Also, I did use a craft knife to do a guiding hole

That's annoying with the barrel where the drill skipped out. At least you can fix it with a little greenstuff/milliput quite easily.  

 

Were you drilling a pilot hole first?

Yup, which is where I think my first mistakes lie. Trying to get it central best I could but clearly in a few cases, it was off centre.
