What size plastic rod,tubing , Plastic I-beams and such do you use for basing? I need input  please to get a general idea what to use.

Q-tip/ear buds for pipes. Just snip off the ends and you have piping about the right size

That obviously depends on what exactly you are trying to model, but in general when you look at modeling supplies such as textured plastic sheets or stuff like I-beams and the like keep an eye out for 1:50 scale items.

 

The cool thing about debris is that you can use anything you have, old pens, sprue, left over bits and any kind of garbage you can think of in general. I made it a habit to take electronic devices apart and strip the parts out some time ago. So now I have a sizable collection of plastic gears and loads of tiny screws I could use for example. Maybe this gives you some inspiration as well.
