You can buy styrene by the rod. That is what I use to make them. Use a lighter to heat it up to bend it. Tree pieces tend tt have hollow pieces that do not work good.

roll cages out of what?
Skip using the plastic sprue left over from your models!!!! The scale isn't right. If you're looking for cheap/free plastic tubes, try using the plastic tubes that make up COTTON SWABS!!!! Be aware that some (like J&J Q-tips) are rolled paper and NOT plastic! Get a box of the cheapest generic type -it'll last you for about 1000 models! Plastic cotton swab sticks are identical to Evergreen plastic tubes -but only 3 1/2 inch lengths and 1/10th the cost!!!!
