Hello Pieter, Nice work, but nothing that couldn't have been accomplished using something else--foam or even plywood.
I'm happy for you if you like ceiling tile, but as they say, different strokes for different folks: it's what makes the world go 'round! I just know that I have been around enough ceiling tile to know that I don't want the itchy, dusty stuff around my trains, much less having to deal with wet sludge being slung around by a Dremel tool.
