Ian,
Call Mopec for the scale - they should have something that you can use. 
Necropsy stuff is their line of business. I just got a catalog yesterday 
from them and they have several scales in it on special!
Brushes...what do you want to do with them? For cleaning I use a brush I 
get at the office supply store. It is called "Crayola So Big" No. 208. It 
makes a great brush for sweeping away those paraffin shavings. You can't 
put it in xylene since the handle is plastic but for a dry brush it is 
wonderful - and cheap. If you are using the brush to brush down ribbons or 
sections then Crayola makes smaller brushes that can be used for this too. 
If you have an office supply catalog browse through it and see if they 
carry them. If not...go to Michaels or a JoAnn Fabric and Crafts. They have 
great brushes for painting on fabric that I love for frozens but they have 
larger brushes for cleaning too.
Good luck.
