Several years back I used to use two pasting tables together to give an approx 6x4. Problem was they tended to get a bit saggy, being hardboard, and the legs were also a bit wobbly.

As I walked out of a model shop today, I was presented with a free [newspaper format] copy of The Railway Magazine. I don't do trains, but there is generally stuff (either modelling / painting & weathering articles, or at the very least scenery stockists' adverts) of interest to the wargaming fraternity.

But what caught my eye today was an article on trestle tables, and the discovery of a heavy-duty pasting table, by Rodo/ProDec:

http://prodec.uk.com/new-800mm-extra-wide-paste-table/
http://prodec.uk.com/products/tools/multi-purpose-paste-table/

They come in both 600 mm and 800 mm widths, and are 2m long. So one would need a couple of these, side by side. But they are apparently both very light and easy to fold away / transport.

I have found the 600mm one online for less than £45, and £55 for the 800mm one.

If they're good enough for heavy train layouts, they should be man enough for our games.
