In order to make painting process much simple, the hole was drilled, and pin was made from copper wire.

Yes. Thats the brass tubing with copper wire soldered inside, and turned in my dremel tool Ernest. I must say- dremel soldering iron, and dremel tool were the 2 best buys since i have started model making. I couldny go without them.
