Hello everyone
I am new to the hobby and forum. I have been lurking a bit reading and trying to decide my route. I made my first meeting last night and I ordered a Goldman Protege kit last night. What I would like is some advice on the material for a building board. I have a work surface that is 24x49 and I can gain more area when I build the wing by removing my monitor from the desktop. I am working on my sewing table, use to make stunt kites. I saw some posts on using ceiling tiles and gyp board. I would prefer not to use gyp board as it messy. Celing tiles I have to buy the whole case [] I tried rolled cork but it's real thin ~ 1/8" I would think you would want thicker material to put the pins in. I found some cork on line on a commerical site in varing thickness but not sure here what size to use. I could laminate the cork to some MDF board I have in the garage. Can you folks offer this beginner any suggestions? Looking forward to starting my 1st build.

Thanks
John
