I've been watching a lot of the Youtube build series for Deagostini Falcon build, and just received my first set of issues.
It seems like a lot of you are drilling holes in the ends of the turret cannons.
So...I assume you are doing this with a dremel or power drill.
Can someone give me a bit more detail...are you putting the cannons in a vise, what size drill bit, etc.
I'm a bit nervous about messing mine up by doing it wrong, but like the look.

Hi Dan and welcome to the forum


To drill the cannon ends I used the point of a sharp scalpel to make a small indentation where the drill piece will go, this used form the drill bit end to sit in otherwise it will be quite difficult to hold it in place.

I the used a pin vice drill and with a small bit gradually going up in bit size until I got the desired effect Cool
