Questions Foot pegs in dios?

I'm working on a dio with a rough surface (eventually to simulate a desert/sand ground area) and no figs want to stand without a stand on it. I remember seeing one snow dio on here where the guy had pre-built a few pegs here and there, so I'm wondering: is there some premade thing I can slice to the right length and pop in a drilled hole to use for foot pegs? I was thinking (hoping?) Lego light saber blades would work, but they're a hair too big... I suppose a thin dowel would work, but would prefer something plastic.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Lots of answers here.

i might be that guy you are thinking of. i was going to use styrene tubing and styrene rod, recomended by the man above^^ but i didn't like the strength of it, so i used acrylic rod.. the down side is they only have a few colors to choose from, but it being acrylic, it might beable to be painted, i didn't bother painting em cus the icey blue ended up looking sharp against the white..

ah, lol my old thread that started it all, haha. no need for me to mention the size needed..

Ah, I swear I ran a search and didn't find anything! Thanks for the tips.

Where'd you get the acrylic rods from?

Edit: I see the web link in the other thread, but I'll probly take a look locally first. I'm sure the shipping is hell on these things.

man, i really forget, did we post any links in the page?? give me a minute, i'll check my favorites and see if i have em.. ..

I did see the links, I think I edited right when you posted

here you go, bro.. not sure if this is the site, but it is the right product. i think it is the site though... http://www.hobbylinc.com/cgi-bin/s8....at_s=RE&mfg_s=

i bought both styrene and acrylic so i could make a decision in person, but the shipping wasn't bad, they are light .. you should go to micheals and get a miter box and miter saw too, it will make things easier to cut..

Sweet, I'll check 'em out. The site I found was in six foot lengths, so I think they meant for you to order in the hundreds... These look perfect! Thakns!
