I was at NEAF yesterday and happened to come across this tiny (about 1 inch across) but very detailed scale model of a Viking lander (complete with small "Martian soil base"), fact sheet and "collectors cards". The package also included a small dark green glass sphere (marble sized); purpose unknown. Maybe it *is* just a marble! This was just one in a series of miniatures of various spacecraft so maybe aimed at kids but this Viking lander was by far the best of the ones they had there and believe me I looked all over.

Also had the brands "Arclight" and "Kaiyodo" on the back of the box.
Unrelated, some booths were also selling tiny fragments of purported Moon rock and Mars rock (via meteorites) for $35-$50 a fleck. Seemed neat, but I didn't buy any as how would you ever know it was really what it claimed it was?

PS NEAF was very good as usual!
