[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.
