RE: Top Flite F4U Corsair Gold Giant Scale Project
Floop-
You asked if anyone had better ideas for a building surface. I use drywall like you, but I have a few concerns about the flatness of your kitchen table. I use a 6 foot folding table with steel frame (like from a church basement) that I bought at Costco. I have checked it with a straightedge for level. A lot of guys use an old hollow core door on sawhorses. Sometimes Home Depot has castoffs. I don't know if you have a spare room anywhere, but I'd try to find a different place to set up the operation. At some point, your wife WILL want to have guests over.
