I do my building on a solid Oak door with a Great Planes balsa building top (I have the three sizes so can do multiple building at the same time). This provides a smooth and flat surface that takes pins. Ceiling tile is fine for awhile..I just didn't care for the ''breaking up and replacement'' routine, which is only personal. You have a nice start with the desk, however, I've found that many times I want to walk around the building table to work on something from a different angle. I purchased a couple of those 30'' by 72'' brown top/metal framed folding tables that I lay my solid door/balsa building board upon and I adjust the height of the building surface via oak dowels in the hollow table legs. Lots of good ideas here...try a couple and find the combination that works for you. Have fun building!!
Soft landings.

yes sir... TONS of great ideas here... almost too much for me to take in all at once...
as far as my building desk, my shop is big enough that i may move it out from the wall some once i start building if i need to get to the other side... i figure thats something that will take care of itself over time...
i mainly need to figure out what im gonna use on top of that desk... thats really my next purchase...
i looked through the doors at Home Depot, but just like this thread, theres just too many ideas and variables for me to consider and choose from... LOL
hhhmmmmmm (shrugs)
all yalls ideas are awesome... keep em coming...
