Look for Small Parts, Inc., on the web.

Do a web search for "surplus" and any other word.   I found <herbach.com>
and American Science Surplus to be wonderful sources of neat toy parts
and stuff.

Any others, guys and gals?   Let's get a collection of sources.

I think Barnacle Wharf Trading Company is gone (arson in about '95), but
if they are still in action, I want to buy more.    Does anyone know?

Tell her you want to stucco the hull.
