I thought you told me those weren't tracks.... (grin). 

But yes, components of modern military models are good. Another good 
thing to look at is the stuff they use for model railways. You can 
get metal mesh, plastic girder material in various scales, and metal 
tubing. So you can make all manner of things with these goodies.
