Hi mate, I d bon't think you'll need to tube at all tbh. If you get a pin vice and small bit (say .8mm), drill a hole into the end of the broken parts then epoxy in a length of piano wire to pin the two parts together you;ll be amazed how strong it is.
Been building Wargames minatures that way for ages, gives a really strong, robust and near invisible join.
