If you folks have some suggestions for other commercial model kits that
you have used, I would evaluate the options you suggest. There are some
other types, and I will try to remember to bring a sample or two in to
class.

As to home made models, be advised that it is rather important to have
your models show very nearly correct bond angles. Without correct bond
angles, the steric hindrance (crowding of groups) and stereochemistry of
groups can't be evaluated properly.

Ciao for now,
