Micro Wizard finish line support, design help

I have a Micro Wizard finish "kit" without any supports...it's just the LEDs, sensors and wires. I'm going to start figuring out how to assemble this thing but wondering if anyone else has done this and can share their photos?

if you can weld you could do this ;

Yeah...can't weld but I might try using PVC pipe for the overhead structure...not sure if it will support the LEDs though, hmmmm. I'm probably too worried about how the thing looks when I should just build whatever I need to make it work!

I say build a prototype that works, paint, checkerboard or chrome duct tape it for appearance,  make a second unit if it still bugs you...

... also,  1/2" CTS .58" is a smaller outside diameter than 1/2" PVC .85" ....

 but, if you need a section welded, I am available, let me know ?... go B go !
