Quote - Tubes. I so wanted to do this too, but for much smaller tubes, like tuBING. Oxygen and like that, for a hospital scene. I found the EasyPose Underground utility at DNA but at $65 seemed a bit dear for my simple purposes.

Most Digital Creations has a couple of Easy Posing sets both include several posable props $5 a set when I bought them. On I use often it a "robotentacle". Change the color and scale, mess with the transparency, make the obligatory "probe" invisible, and you get the a nice corrugated tubing like you use for anesthesia machines and ventilators. They work very well.
