I don't remember how much it costed exactly, but i think it was around 50 or 60 dollar (40€).
my table can be taken appart into 2'x2' sections with the option to make it indefenitly in size.
i got some mdf plates cut into two foot squares, got a fraise and the assorted milling-machine and some aluminium hooks. By carefully milling the spaces and placing the hooks i can attach segments together by just sliding then next to eachother. and with a bit of attention you can make the system in such a way that the size off the board is only limited by the amount op segments you make.
a simple product that protects it against moisture, and it's good to go.
Mdf is relatively light and an 8 mm thick board is sturdy enough.

My table has been fitted with holes to keep scenery segments into place. i plan to make 'tiles' of schenery that can cover the whole table so they don't slide off and have a degree of versatility.
