This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but for 3-d water
shed models, we've had tremendous success with a company called
EnviroScape
c/o J T & A, inc.
1000 Connecticut Ave
Washington, DC 20036
202-833-3380
sysop@ e2b2.com
They produce a model watershed which is a wonderful hands-on teaching
tool to illustrate point and non-point source pollution, as well as
developing land management solutions. It is a large, plastic model
that includes rivers, lakes, forest, farms, suburb, construction
site, etc. They are developing add-on layers for illustrating other
environments, such as wetlands. It comes with detailed teaching
materials, and, while fairly large (about 4 ft by 4 ft), comes with a
roll-around suitcase.
The company is very *user-friendly* and easy to work with. They
produce a users newsletter and seem to constantly be trying to
improve their product and address the needs of the users.
Good luck!
