Hi

This will probly sound wierd but i need sum thin hollow tube, i have racked my brains and hunted out the house for something to use but no luck, what im looking for is something like a cotton bud tube but not as thick, the only thing i can find that is the right thickness for the scale is … spaghetti pasta sticks lol so if anyone has any ideas i would be very gratefull, as using edible model parts can only lead to bad things [dinner] (though my better half’s gravy could be a great putty substitute [;)])

You never said what material you wanted your tubing to be made from.

See the Small Parts catalog. They stock all sizes and materials of tubing

Check out the link above for the stainless hypo tubing. Should be what will fix you up!

Have you tried to stretch evergreen or plastruct tubing the same as you would sprue?

it works, but you need to experiment with a bit and you get a plastic, glue-able piece in the end.
