Ya I think an 48"x18" sheet of drywall laid over my craftsman bench is going to be the way to go for me. Thanks for the help. Going to place an order from Tower Hobbies for my supplies this week and drive up to Hobby-Lobby here in town to buy the Kadet! Can't wait!
Drywall needs full support underneath. If it overhangs a couple inches it's not a biggie. But if it overhangs a foot or more, the overhangs will sag in time. When I was early in my RC activities, 35+ years ago, I was poor so I used hollow core doors from Home Depot. A 7' x 2 1/2' door cost around 12$ as I recall.I think someone mentioned solid core doors and that's even better. If you can find one used for cheap, buy it and use it directly over your Craftsman top. Then the sheet of drywall on top of that, trimmed to minimize overhang. It will serve you well for many projects and years.
