[QUOTE="Varmartin, post: 367579, member: 8554"] The only tricky part was drilling the hole in the turret, I used a jewelers vise to hold it and wrapped it in card to protect it. Due to the tiny hole, I used the `Dremel` hand tool at fairly high speed. I found it a lot easier to hold it steady compared to a normal electric size power drill. The turret is very thin !..so use very light pressure on the drill tip. A steady hand is required to get a drip of paint into the marker hole. I used `auto`paint ...sprayed a bit into the lid and used a trimmed down artists brush...practice on a lid top first a few times. I did get a bit of `paint creep` into the horizontal lines on the column, but used a pin to clean it our when dry...a tip here is to let the paint go off for 5 Min's before you drip it into the hole. Hope this info helps... [/QUOTE]
