Yeah a hobby drill is prettymuch an absolute requirement for pinning metal. The procedure is the same as with plastic, but with a hobby drill you get much better control, and if you use the right bit size, you can just use regular medium paperclips as the pin itself (which also means you'll need a pair of side cutters if you don't have it already.)
I like the Games Workshop one the best, but I've also used one by Privateer Press that seems to be the same as the Army Painter one and it's reasonably good too.

First Edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons will always hold a special place in my heart because that's where I started. However, Second edition is a bit more playable and simpler, so when I run a game, I use Second Edition.

Here's a site you might find helpful. It talks about brushes, taking care of them, the best kinds, etc.Chozon1 wrote:I must be doing something wrong then. I'm using a 18/0, and still having trouble getting good results.

I don't eat hard candy so that's not an issue for me... But I totally would break my teeth if I did...
You mean like Mountain Dew?Emwok wrote:Radioactive soda?

I 'spose I need to get a sable brush eventually. That may be one of my problems. I'm using medium quality synthetics. I just don't want to become elitist. XD

So... I'm afraid to ask... what's a gas powered stick?
The movie or the short story? (In both cases, the answer is yes!)ScotchRobbins wrote:The Shawshank Redemption?
It's not elitist to want to use the good stuff... It helps you improve your own skills too because you don't have to fight the brush. Then, you can concentrate on your technique.
And yes, yes they do.
