Well, I actually had this same problem in wanting a "tilt table". I was looking at Chiropractice tables, etc and happened to be in Home depot one day and saw these lumber outfeed stands for saws that had a tilting feature to them. They are also adjustable in height. I got 3 of these, bought a 6' x 2' slab of 3/4' thick wood, bolted it to this tilt surface of one of them, covered that wood with 3' thick foam, bought some fake leather and upolstered that and then the other 2 of the adjustable stands to put at the head and foot- and there you go--inexpensive tilt table that doubles as a workbench. I just cover it with plastic and lie another slab of old shelving on it for a worksurface. I couldnt be happier with it.
It is fairly light and easy to move around. The stands are made by RIGID and called the Flip Top--they were about .00 ea so with all the material and everything I spent about 0.00.
I have it where it is easily accessible from all sides and you can even change the angle that it is at at simply by raising or lowering the height of the stand that the table is bolted to. I also built a little platform for the model to stand on and then additionally a small wooden wedge to place under that to keep it from tipping forward when the model gets on it. Then I have my hook in the ceiling with the ropes to hold the arms when doing a casting where the arms are elevated.
There ya go!! hope this helps.
Good luck and think out of the box!!!
