Good luck with the new product, now if you just can invent something that can glue those PE pieces without supergluing me fingers together!

Love the scriber and the Acrylic metal paints btw.  Looking forward to getting the sprue cutter and the new PE cutter.

I see what I can do. It is a solid idea. Chances are something will come of it.

Yes bolt heads are the main use. Squares would be nice too! How about a master modeler punch set? The full range of round that Waldron offers plus hexs and squares! Dinner [dinner]

I'd spend a couple hundred for such a set or a hundred for a full range round set.

I would imagine punching out scale hex nuts and bolt heads.

If found that when I was shopping for the Waldron punches, the two sets have some overlap in sizes. I ended up picking the one that was the most practical, which turns out that it gets used rarely, but it comes in handly when it does.

Hex set...Hmmm I might have to give that some thought. What applications do you see it being used for?

As an alternative to $130 dollars for the two Waldron sets. Wink [;)]

Like one master set and perhaps a hex set too.

Why? The Waldron punches are still availble. They are now owned and produced by Roll Models.

Sounds great. Maybe you can get them to make a punch set like the old Waldron sets. Big Smile [:D]
