I want to make something like this:
But I have no clue where to even start looking for the material and glue.
Can anybody shed some light?

One might ask "Why not buy the real thing"...
I think the real thing is grossly over-priced and under-spec'd.
To wit:
- The compressor seems to work from a lead-acid battery, which is problematic shelf-life-wise to say the least - and lithium battery compressors are readily available for 1/5 the price.
- There's a battery eliminator available - which looks to me like just a 45-60 watt power source (no more than thirty bucks) and they want $200 for it.
- For the little wall wart that charges the battery - which looks like your basic 12v 2-3 amp computer equipment power supply that retails for $5-10 max they're asking $50 - which gives me another reference point as to their idea of pricing.
