I use cabinet bases and a 4x8 foot 1 inch thick piece of MDF. On top of that is a 1.5" tick granite table top. Dead true and great for setting up any model type. Although a bit costly in the beginning $1200 for the entire table to include the granite, it is always perfect after ten years. Glue chips away, paint chips away, etc. I love it. Best thing I ever did. Cost me one less model in my stable but the rewards of using it far out weigh that.
