Hi Coaster and a warm welcome to the forum. Certainly an intriguing project you are taking on there. One thing that caught my attention was when you said it needs to be strong.

Is this going to be a working model then and if so what sort of scale are we talking about?

As Greg says hardware stores are a good source of the type of brackets yoyu are after but if you need more specific shapes you may have to consider purchasing some sheet metal and bending it yourself.

If it was purely a static model I would suggest plasticard sheet but I get the impression that you have something a bit more ambitious up your sleeve.
