Pin vise hand drills are cheap, but Micromark and most hobby shops sell little push drills that work like Yankee screwdrivers. A gentle push of the handle is converted to a turning of the bit. Faster than hand pushdrilling and better control. Also consider CAREFULLY using a ball-shaped bit in a Dremel tool to thin the plastic from behind until you can just barely see light coming through. Then it doesn't look like your porthole is set in a thich wall of armor plate! Sorry about the repost (Webmaster, please remove the other!) but I mis-spelled Micromark and don't want to make finding hobby tools any harder than it has to be!
