First eggs up to first formicarium.

I can expect them between 1-2 weeks, correct? I have a Formica podzolica queen, caught on July 24th, yet to lay eggs. Not worried or anything more just wanting to talk about her and her care in the near future.
Since I'm on a tight budget and uncertain whether or not I will have the funds to purchase an AC nest for them when the time comes, I was curious to know whether anyone had experience making their own equipment similar to the AC lines. For example, the materials and potential construction of similar formicariums without ability to cast your own shapes. More along the lines of aquarium construction I guess, but perhaps with more resin based materials, since glass will undoubtedly be beyond my price range.
