You could buy a booth that is designed for indoor use but they are pricey.
Artograph makes this one which is geared for models:

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom. " Charles Spurgeon

Even though acrylics don't totally alleviate the problem...

First, how far away from your window are the intake vents for the HVAC system? Depending on distance and relative locations of the HVAC system fresh air intake, the amount of vapors you would be discharging through your duct work would probably be sufficiently diluted before reaching the intake. In addition, the actual air velocity exiting the ductwork may not be sufficient to cause vapor entrainment into the HVAC system.

Second, if a spray booth is totally out of the question, consider simply opening your door and window where you are going to be spraying, and putting a small fan behind you as you spray to help dilute any vapor concentrations, and in addition, give consideration to wearing a respirator while you spray.

I have discovered that my apartment building's airconditioners and heating is right outside my windows. I can't build a paint boot there or the air will be pulled right into the system. The window also has a screen.

There is no easy way to build a paint booth.

Is there some way to build a box that would filter out all the fumescoming from the booth/fan and leave normal air coming back into the apartment.

The alternative is to drive out to my Folks house in the country to do any airbrush painting. Sad [:(]
