I was just at the grocery, and ALDI has a couple of specials that may interest modelers

Hobby Vice. $9
http://aldi.us/us/html/offers/2867_13574_ENU_HTML.htm
An all metal vice. Larger, sturdier, more adjustable, (infinitely superior really) and half the price compared to the cheap plastic GW version. I bought the suction version when they offered it last year and bought the table clamp version today.

Storage Drawers $10
http://aldi.us/us/html/offers/2867_13576_ENU_HTML.htm
I didn't pick up any of these, but I have used similar organizers for my LEGO and these are considerably less expenisve than anywhere else.

Aldi specials don't last long (usually a week or two), so get'em while you can.

I've never used a vice for my models before, so I dont know about that one, but the drawers are perfect if you love converting and hoarding bitz.

I got a hot glue gun from there for a fiver, with a packet of glue sticks

Shops like the Reject shop, Wallys World and those dollar shops often have treats. Esp for making terrain.
