Peter, you can make them pretty easily with some clear sections of sprue from a car or aircraft kit. Same technique as streching sprue, just make them a bit thicker, trim to shape and add a splash of color for the labels. HTH. "Q"

Thanks lads,
I'll give it a try, I even thought about turning one on my Dremel and then casting out of clear resin....
Cheers
