Plastictruct and ithe things can be fabicated and modified with heat and
files, Xacto, wizards, Dremels and 400 + - 1200 sandpaper. Hobby shops
have lots more things you can use and it is cheaper than art supply stores.
Wish I had time to try it. there are a lot of great approaches that
can be taken. Graph it out and do the fabrication calcs, it'll fly
Tandberg uses such things., theirs fall out.
Complements on the concept.
