[OT] American Science and Surplus

To whomever recommended the American Science and Surplus catalog:
thanks.
It arrived today, and I already have an order planned.	Frankly, if
nothing
else it's worth it for the item descriptions!  "We enthusiastically
recommend this 8" plastic pottery wheel for everything but making
pottery..."

Anyway, I saw two items in this catalog that would be of particular
interest to list members.  The first was a kit for making a rubber model
of
Jupiter: 2 1/2" in diameter, made using some kind of "Instant Rubber". 
For
$1.75, it seems like a good way to make some cheap FT terrain.

The other bit was a little weird.  To quote:
"Die Cast Metal Miniatures...Kryomek/Nexus Marines, Chaos/Citadel and
Dark
Sun World are just some of the fantasy characters we will mention to wet
your appetite.	We're selling them at $2.50 a package, or (5) packages
for
$2.00 each.  We will choose what you get; no whining."

Not the best deal in the world perhaps, but worth considering.

Their web page, by the way, is http://www.sciplus.com
