Historex also used to have a couple of sets. Don't know if they're still selling them.

Roll Models bought out the Waldron range.

Click the Searchable Catalog link and select Waldron as the manufacturer. For just the punch & die sets, also enter punch as the key word.

I wonder if they bought them out? Waldron went out of business a year or so ago.

I think you can get the Waldron Set from Mission Models.

I wanted to recommend a large punch and die set that Harbor Freight sells.

Lifetime Carbide 9 PC PUNCH AND DIE SET

The smallest size is 1/8", which is a bit large for most 1/350th and smaller ship use - except for maybe gun tub bottoms - but I've found it invaluable during the build of my 1/96th scale iron clad Weehawken. I just punched out some coaling scuttle covers and it works beautifully; precise and sharp edges.

I also noticed that Micro Mark is now selling a Micro Punch and Die Set that looks like a good successor to the old Waldron unit.
