Can anyone point me to a source of 1-2 inch hexagonal tubes? By this I mean hexagonal tubes that are 1 to 2 inches wide, and of arbitrary length. They can be hollow or solid, wood, metal, or plastic. Well, prferably not solid metal. Anyway, please let me know if you know where I can get some.
Thanks
Brian
K & S makes brass tubing in all shapes and sizes. Check your local hobby shop; I know the one near me carries them. If that doesn’t work, check out either www.micromark.com or www.smallparts.com

You’re right about K&S and the brass tubes. They make hex tubes up to about 7/16" across. What I need are hexagonal tubes that are about 2" across. Can anyone help me?

I believe Plastruct might have what you’re looking for; unfortunately, I can’t seem to pull up their online catalog right now. Anyway, here is their link:

Lowdog: thanks for referring me to Plastruct. I shall go there at once.
Randy: I need the tubes for the engineering section of a starship that I’m scratchbuilding. It’s based on a chriss foss design.

This may sound really stupid but your local jeweler or TROPHY STORE may have some scrap trophy tubing that would work for you. If not try Outwater Plastics I think.
