  • The windows will just take some fiddlin' with to get into place. Make a sturdy plastic or pressboard template one to get your window holes all the right size and to use when cutting your windows down to the right size.

    Make the window you're inserting a tad bigger (1/16") than the hole itself and work it into place. If you have a bit of a gap just fill it with glue and paint.

    Hope that all helps, eh.

  • The columns will be a challenge. You may want to widen them to say a 1-1/2" wide. Or make them all out of thinner stock and glue them into place with toothpicks. You could use cardboard tubing too if you can find sturdy tubes the right thickness (fax paper rolls, commercial paper towel dispensers talk to the janitors at the mall.)

  • The sanding sponges (optional, eh) can be found at drywall supplies, paint stores, or most hardware stores. I use plain sandpaper wrapped around various things a lot too.

    Drywallers and autobody people use a rasp (also called a shaper here) that works good too. There is a thing called a wood shaver that works good.

    You may find that one inch thick foam is ample as the 2 inch thick stuff is expensive and hard to cut through straight. (scroll saws and bandsaws work good on the thick stuff.)

  • Might be just semantics in the way of finding the tools. (named different there.)

    The rasp - coarse tooth file, wood file, the bigger ones should be able to be found at any hardware store. The little guys (one set I found at a tool store, the other set at a surplus store). You can glue or staple coarse sandpaper (80 grit?) to a wooden dowel too.

    Sculptamold (made by Amaco) can be found at art stores or craft stores or online (try allartsupplies) for half the price I pay for it here.
