So before the weekend I will be going to a builders merchants who stock both, with a supply of pins to test before buying. The table is & filing cabinet are from Ikea, the table measures 150 x 90cm.
I don't know if I'd have the guts to tackle a build this big in my bedroom!

As for a building surface, regular plywood might be hard to pin to. If by plasterboard you mean what we call drywall or sheetrock in the US, then I do know that some people use that. Other popular materials are ceiling tiles (like the one used in drop ceilings) or foam insulation boards. I would bring a few pins to your building supply store and see what feels like it will work best for you. I use a 2' x 4' balsa building board I acquired some years back.


Balsa building board.
