Frequently Asked Question
Brass tubes are used to create fine details, structural components, or realistic piping on scale models and miniatures. They’re ideal for scratch-building, conversions, and enhancing model accuracy.
Yes. Thin brass tubes can be gently bent by hand or with pliers. For thicker tubes, you may need to heat or carefully shape them to avoid kinking.
For durability and realism, brass tubes outperform plastic tubing. They maintain shape, can be filed or glued easily, and hold fine details better.
Absolutely. Use a fine hobby saw or tubing cutter for clean, precise cuts suitable for miniature applications.
In scale modelling, “brass tubes” is the common term for thin, precise metal cylinders used for detailing. “Brass pipes” is sometimes used interchangeably, especially for thicker or larger-diameter pieces.
