I found a great use for all those AA and AAA batteries that have died....i use them inside my larger models for nose weight....i use one of each inside the StrawberryBitch i am building...

Hey, Possum,

Haven't you ever seen an old battery swell up, rupture, and leak nasty goo all over the place? The best place for old batteries is in the trash or at some place that collects that kind of junk.

Use rocks or fishing sinkers or scraps of plastic sprue from old plastic kits or something else that's inert.

[I learned about leaky dead batteries the some D-cells ruined by only flashlight when I was a kid.]

How do you use BB's? Most are bigger than your models.

On a related note, I just aquired 2 full boxes of lead musket balls that my Dad was getting ready to throw away because the gun that used them is no longer fireable (barrel cracked ) So my nose weight issues have been taken care of for a while.

Poppy seeds? Gonna use large bore cannons on your ships? I figured dust mites would work better
