make it out of mdf or something like that, it holds paint very well, and has a smooth surface, you would have to spend big money for smooth plywood.

Only downfall with MDF is moisture, but if your going to paint all the exposed wood you'll be fine. |

Thanks for all the kind words, fellas! I had considered fiberboard and if you guys remember, I even used some fiberboard to build the one section. It didn't have quite enough structure for my tastes (in the thin version) and the thicker stuff is awfully dense, thus create more gravitational problems (weight). I found some stuff at lowes that was perfect. I think it's called plywood paneling (I can't remember even though I just bought it). It's super thin and has some decent structural qualities. Of course, no plan ever survives first contact with the enemy...
Still, I hope that this stuff works out. I hate having to change materials all the time. The first time using fiberboard was an experiment, but I'm fairly sure this stuff will work. Weight will become an issue if I'm not careful. I made the decision to make the base out of 2x6 lumber, which is hefty, to say the least. This will create a strong, stable foundation. But the rest of the structure will be smaller, 2x4 maximum probably leaning more towards 1x2. Picked up some pieces today. Hopefully I can get a chance to do some cutting tomorrow.
