A Hobby Lobby find
Posted by mitsdude on Friday, May 2, 2014 1:37 AM

I found a neat little item today at HL that will be useful in my modeling.

Its a Mortar and Pestle

Great for grinding chalks, dirt/sand, rust to make your own weather products.

I already have a large one (softball size) of these but its actually too big.

This one fits in the palm of your hand, just a wee bit smaller than a tennis ball.

 

Its located in the educational toys section, near the diorama products. Made my "My First Labs".

 

They also had a few other things but I already have plenty of these.

Plastic and glass eye droppers- measuring thinners, paint, etc

Glass microscope slides- windows

Nice finds!  I was given a box of those glass microscope slides, but I don't know what to use them for, any suggestions?

I've used them for "surprise".... windows in buildings.

The glass cover slips are good too. Much closer to scale. However, they are 3-4x smaller than a glass slide.

Its probably just me but real glass just has a "look" to it that you don't get in clear plastic. I dunno, maybe it has something to do with differences in reflection, refraction, transparency.
