Skylights I tried to find a z scale skylight in the local hobby shop but had no luck. Even the smallest HO scale skylight was not going to look right. And if they had been the right size, it would have cost a fortune to buy all that would be needed for the MBX structure and I would still have to figure out how to finish them to like a real skylight. One day while looking for something else, I found some page pebbles in squares, rectangles, circles and ovals. They came in a variety of sizes as well. Their dome shape spoke loudly of a skylight! I got a pack of small squares (32 in a pack) for $2.00. I brought them home and painted several white on the top and several white on the bottom, looking for the "skylight" look. Nada, zilch. So then I tried sticking one to a piece of styrene and that was the solution. I added some dark gray to the edge of the styrene to give it the look of the sides of a skylight.
I stuck two packages, 64 total to a sheet of 0.030" thick styrene sheet.
I then cut the page pebble from the styrene, painted the edge and now I have 64 skykights.
