As I've mentioned before, I'm always on the lookout for things that, while maybe not their original intention, have a great use in 1/6 scale. I thought I'd snap off a few quick pictures tonight of some recent finds.
Metal Barrels
While I'm reluctant to endorse Hobby Lobby, I know I'm not the only one who was looking for these type of barrels. I believe it's actually a candle holder, but it's perfect in 1/6. I plan to repaint the 2 I got, but they still look pretty good as is.
Also, don't do what Saint Crow is doing below.

Military Cases
While I'm already buying pretty much everything that comes out in the 1/18 scale Acid Rain line, an nice bonus is that every figure comes in 1 of these cool plastic storage containers. The ones in the picture have already gone through a good blackwash and some weathering powders, but they're fantastic as is, and make perfect 1/6 military style crates.
Test Tubes
These were sort of a special request, and acquired from Etsy seller OneSixthArsenal. I have no idea what they were intended for, but they're all glass with rubber stoppers, and are perfect in 1/6, His store in general has a bunch of rad stuff, and I highly recommend checking it out.
Skeleton
I had seen someone else make the recommendation (I believe on OSW) for a very decent, very cheap 1/6 scale skeleton. It came with The Bones Book and Skeleton, and was actually packaged in the display dome pictured. I had painted the base brass, and gave the skeleton a wash of brown paint, and I think he looks pretty good.
