If the model *doesn't* have cast dimples, I have good luck using a straight pin as a mini center punch.

Doug,

I use the pin vise with the ball handle. It fits nicely in the palm,
and allows good control. If the model has pre-cast dimples, and
there are lot of them, I'll plug a dremel into a variac for really
slow speed (ie. a few hundred RPMs) and have at it. The rest is just
being careful to not bend the bit, such as keeping the model still as
you go.
