The Japanese department store 'Tokyu Hands' distributes a Japanese made 4
or 5 " globe made from cardboard along with a sheet of gore sections
(orange peel) as a do-it-yourself globe.  (about 1500 Yen = 13.- $)
But I am afraid that will not help much....

Hubbard makes a globe projection teaching model (#3010 - about $23.00).  It
is a bit dated, but still useful.  It comes with a globe and some clear maps
for cylindrical projections, etc.
 
Also the USGS has a free poster on projections, showing about 30 or so
different projections.
 
National Geographic Society will fax/send you a listing of the current heads
of the state geography alliances.

Alice Hudson--
  I have a suggestion for the teacher who wants a teaching aid
for showing the relationship of maps to globes. There are a
number of texts showing standard globe gores--one is Nordenskiold's
Facsimile Atlas. Any globe gore pattern could be enlarged or
reduced on a photocopy machine using a circumference or diameter
measurement to calculate the percent of enlargement. This can be
cut out and pasted on the 4" styrofoam sphere. If an orange-peel
pattern is desired, cut out the gore pattern as above, then cut
the adjacent sections horizontally and paste together along the
meridians to form an orange peel pattern.
  If your client wants an illustration of the procedure, have
them e-mail me an address.
