Great solution to those windows. I've got the same Korber kit (with the extension, as well. Found the extension at the ECLSTS this past March). Mine's been in the box waiting to be assembled for five years, now. Some day I'll find time to assemble it. It's good to know that there will be a better set of windows possible when I do.
That bobble head mount idea is fantastic! I hope to some day add diaphragms to my old aristo passenger fleet. Of course, I'll have to finish a million other things first. Ya learn something new everyday!
I cut plastic on my table saw regularly. The trick is to use a blade with as many teeth as possible. Plywood blades work well. Of course, using a blade on plastic will make it much less effective on plywood. I always keep my plastic cutting plywood blades separate from my plywood cutting plywood blades. Your mileage may vary.
I do have another question about buildings/structures from scratch...I am actually home on convalescence leave from work and am very bored here, so I am looking to construct my first outdoor piece...not a building, but a 42" bridge. I have done much research on buildings and have ordered some Plastiboard for my buildings. But I want to tackle the bridge first. I have much experience in Balsa wood model aircraft kits, years ago. So this should be fun with the bridge. My question for outdoor structures is...1. what type of wood should be used for a structure like this, for strength and durability, and what to do to weather-proof it?

Cedar is an excellent wood for outdoors. It doesn't need any special weather proofing, but it will turn grey after a season outdoors. You could stain it every season or two if you want some color in it. Or you could make a metal bridge out of aluminum screen framing material. I made one a few years ago. I'm definitely not much of a metal worker, but this was pretty easy to do. Here's a build log of it....
Yes! Yes! Now with the pieces together except for the power adaptor, What is this worth? I would love to move it at a fair price. The metal pieces are heavy, I don't know if it will be worth it to ship?
I'm not sure what it is worth. A complete (with power adaptor) unit would be better. Hard to tell if it works or not without the power adaptor.
You could check eBay pricing but their prices can sometimes be a bit..... unrealistic?
Sometimes you can find a suitable one that was once used to power another device (maybe from an old answering machine or other electronic gear). Of course there's always Radio Shack- if there's any of them left nearby. Best of luck to you.
