Subject: Basing using plastruct to create chemical pipes?
I have decided that I am going to go with an industrial ruined chemical factory as part of my display board. I am also going to incorporate the cheimcal piping on my bases. I was thinking that pastruct would be a good candidate for this.
Havent tried chemical pipes but looking in my handy-dandy plastruct catalog here...you may want to try something like the Traditional Butyrate round tubing...
TB-8 is 1/4" outer diameter and 1/8" inner diameter, probably too big
TB-4 is 1/8" outer diameter and 1/16" inner diameter
anything smaller than TB-3 (3/32" outer) isn't really a tube anymore, so you don't want that.
these will be pretty small but good for bases. Not sure what I'd go with for the actual display board...maybe min size of the TB-8 and then some much larger tubes.
thats the range I'd look at probably. They sell a ton of fittings to customize the look.

Chrispy: Yeah I had thought about that as well. I have some imex platforms but not the chemical plant. I think the plastruct stuff will allow me to customize it more. But the imex stuff is an option. Thanks!

As well as those (the plastruct type stuff is all great as it is designed so one size first neatly into another size) you can look at gardening supply stores (automated sprinkler system pipe heads and connections) and lollypop sticks (Chuppa Chup type if they are global - no idea).
Plastruct is good however as they are easy to work with and bond great with plastic glue.
There are 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary, and those who don't.
