I tried the door. I figured out that I've never needed a building surface the size of a door to build any kit. Check out the Balsa building boards that are "purpose built" just for models. Tower, Hobby Lobby, Guillows, all sell them.

If you buy a couple you can work on more than one part at a time. (While the glue dries) They store easy. You can leave parts pinned and move them out of the way if need be.

The door just ended up being a junk catcher.

Just my opinion...
