 Hello, Mark....

 I've never tried the glass table method but it does sound interesting.
 Since most of my building is models with 60" (and up) wingspans, the 
 price of a 1/2" glass sheet that large would probably be out of my range.
 MC> Wooden doors sag.
 Not mine - I have two doors, laid end to end, on a 2"x4" leveled and 
 braced platform.  My advice posted earlier should have mentioned the
 unlying platform as being essential to good model building.  TTYL - Roger
