Have you tried cutting the straws in half, long ways, or is it too fiddly?

For gutters, you would've needed Macdonalds straws..............

Does plastistruct do something similar?

Could always use some tin - cut into strips and then rolled around some dowling (or whatever you have of the diameter that you want). I'm a great fan of tin as it's easier and cheaper to get hold of than brass and just as easy to work (well, at least for the stuff that I do with it).
