We model railroaders tend to build our benchwork to withstand a nuclear attack or a hurricane like the infamous "Ike". You certainly can build your benchwork using 1/4 plywood, if you use multiplex plywood - that´s a supreme, multi-layer grade of plywood, and paint it. Of course, you have to take care of proper bracing and support, spanning not over 12". A word of warning - multiplex plywood is not cheap. A quicker and cheaper way is to laminate 4" thick Styrofoam between sheets of masonite. How that is done, can be seen in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjB-LFUI6cU" target="_blank">video</a>. The narration is in German, but just watch the film.
