Sources for Crystal Models (FCC, BCC, etc)?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for pre-made molecular models of crystal structures, specifically face-centered cubic (FCC) and body-centered cubic (BCC) orientations. The original poster expresses a desire for high-quality, hard plastic models rather than DIY options or modifications to existing kits. Participants suggest resources for obtaining these models, including links to websites that offer custom models and a variety of crystal structures. Key recommendations include checking out crystalstructures.com and miramodus.com for available options. The conversation highlights the importance of finding accurate representations of molecular geometries for educational and display purposes.

I have been acquiring some nice molecular models of graphene, buckyballs, and things like the model below.

One thing I have not been able to find are crystal models with the different orientations like face-centered cubic, body-centered cubic and such. Does anyone know where I can find molecular models like this one? I cannot make some of these without drilling the modeling kits that I have (which, due to the angles and connectors, would look terrible and be a big hassle). Styrofoam and other DIY methods are not preferred, I am looking for pre-made, hard, plastic models if anyone knows. Thank you!
