Yeah, I usually go with a very fine one first, but I've broken them all...

Are you drilling with a power tool ? Because I use small (< 0.7 mm)bits manually in a pin vice and hardly ever break them. Also I go straight for the correct sized bit because I find pilot holes not necessary.

They do look very splendid Count. I'm still working out how to base mine, but as I'm only playing skirmish style, I'm contemplating singles and sabot.

And Wingco, I usually do the pilot with a pin vice then dremel the proper sized hole. Especially on 15/18mm I destroyed too many hands.

Those look very tasty Andy.

I've been going through the boxers and tidying things top -in this case a few big field/rough ground pieces that needed a better paint job and a good re-flocking:

What have pugilists to do with it? But those look like nice terrain pieces.

No, a hand-held one. I only had two tiny bits and broke them ages ago. Not got around to getting any more.

Now everyone else would have taken my mistyping into the men’s nether garment territory.
But you sir, are a gentleman.
