Hey,

I was watching and looking at a few tuts and saw thin tubes on plasticard; I've searched for these tubes and I can't seem to find any. Can anyone give me any pointers onto where I can find some?

thanks,

Evergreen scale models has them and they have lots of other options as well. http://www.evergreenscalemodels.com/

Evergreen and Plastruct are the two biggest names. In fact, they're the only two names I've ever seen, barring industrial outfits that happen to sell styrene sheet. Most model shops, either physical or online, will carry a selection of one or the other, including sheet, rod, tube, and a selection of architectural forms (trusses, I-/H-beams, etc.) Being based in the US, it'd be pointless for me to give you names, since there are likely plenty of UK Ebay stores that cover all the bases, if Google hasn't yielded anything better.

Evergreen also makes some nice little "variety" packs of their tubing that come with an decent assortment that will cover most general modeling needs.

4D model shop is where i get all my styrene sheet and strip from, check them out - http://www.modelshop.co.uk/category/Strip___Shape,l.html?sortBy=FeaturedDesc.

They have had amazingly quick and efficient delivery every time ive used them

thanks for that, as well as that, is there any beginners guides to using the stuff?
