these disposable pipettes indeed come in pretty handy...still got 50 or so at home from a botany excursion 
one of them even made it into my Exorcist-"Diorama"... I also use the scalpel I had to buy when doing the anatomy lectures (we never used it any ways...razorblades, scissors - "now you cut into your rat's scrotum...euhm...okay) for miniature stuff and those. got tonns of eprovettes at home as well. anyways! good stuff

Hmmm.. Perhaps there is a futuristic diorama for my Woods lamp and extra syringes.

People who paint minis steal stuff from work. RADICAL!

Excellent! I can't steal anything cool from work because I don't have a job anymore! They kicked me out of the army for welding spikes onto our tanks and painting all our weapons bright red. HA HA HA HA HA.. hmmmmm... That's really not funny.
Yep, being a genetics professor has its distinct advantages. I use these kinds of tools all the time, but I typically (ahem) purchase them out of pocket. I still get the discount, though. Microcentrifuge tubes for 9 bucks (US) a bag of 500. Not bad. I've used the microplates, too; they're GREAT for mixing colors.

I love this article! I also work in a lab (microbiology, molecular biology, and chem), and this is has so much great information! Also, the article itself is nice- informative, good pictures, and the necessary disclaimers.

Hah, hah not bad . One of my friends works with mechanics/electronics; over the last 5 years or so we had tons of wires, platines and what not "transfered" onto or minis respecively bases. Good to see that we're not the only scroungers.

i work at an electronics factory. get all kinds of stuff exactos, painter removal agents, cleaning brushes, bits for conversions, the big thing is i could get stuff to start casting molds, but i think that falls under the power tool disclaimer.

I used one of those Styrofoam containers that they pack all the stuff that has to be frozen during shipping as a bunker. The rounded edges look just like an old German bunker from WWII. It works great with Imperial Guard. and since there were a ton in the lab that no one was ever going to use again, nobody minded if I took one. Science rules!

I used to work (didn't get fired - just finally retired) in a hospital supply room, and needless to say, tons of disposable (and sometimes not so disposable) supplies followed me home! :beerwave:
