Since brother ambac seems to be away at the moment, a pin vice is a small hand tool, generally about as long as your finger, that has a small chuck on the end. Some even have two. They hold much smaller drill bits than your father's power drill. You need to go to a hobby or model shop and look for the miniature drill bits. They ought to have pin vices there as well. Find a bit about the same size as the hole in Hicks' armour (or a little smaller) and you're good to go. All you need do is center the hole with the tip of a very sharp pin, ice pick, whatever, then turn the pin vice slowly with your fingers to drill the hole. Doesn't take much pressure at all, especially with a new bit. You could clean up the hole a little if you want by wrapping a small piece of very fine sandpaper around a toothpick, just be careful not to overdo it. Hope this helps you.
