Where do you guys buy your aryclic rods for displaying your models. I have a few I don't wish to drill, I just want to set them on some Rods. :)

US Plastics. Yeah the minium length is 6 feet, but they're cheap. And you can get acrylic cabachones too.

Thank you! What do you guys use to cut them with? What kind of glue (if used) do you use?

CA glue works wonders with acrylic.

I use a hacksaw to enscribe a line around the rod then snap it. Sand paper takes the worse of it off.
