Here are a couple of photos of a nifty little product I discovered in my local craft shop.

As one may surmise from a glance at the name, they are Tiny Glass Marbles. The name doesn't lie!

They come in assorted colors, as well as clear colors (great for 1/72 'blister' nav. lights), and will make great throttle and mixture knobs in cockpits.

I estimate that the package contains about eight billion of these little buggers, so you can split the USD$2 cost with a few hundred modeling buddies - talk about cost-effective!

I have no idea what the distribution of this product is, but keep an eye out in craft shops - they're cool!
