nobody likes a smartass

but he is right. you need to use the search engine or read all of the stickies before you go ask a lame question like
what kind of paper do i use.

you can get banned for that $#!T

not you, and you need to use the heavier kind, like a greeting card. that is what cardstock is.

if you do have cardstock, the US uses 110lb or something like 90lb, use the 110.
if you are outside the US, i dont know the weight it has to be, but its up there.



guys, dont be jerks, help him and get over it.

If you are outside the United States, I believe the most common is 220gr. I'd suggest something over 190.

In Canada it's also called Cardstock/110lb.

sorry if i came off rude. but some of the higher memebers dont take lightly to noobs not paying attention.

210 gram paper should work nicely. Now you can start with pepakura without worrying about poor paper quality.

And if you build something and find it too flimsy, just get other paper

Good luck with your build

We also don't like rude members, and 'noobs' wouldn't be 'noobs' if they did pay attention.

@ rvb4life and tlither: Thank you for being the first considerate members to post proper answers to the question.

Survey says the best answer people could have given was:

Use 110lb card stock or its equivalent weight outside North America. Please read the stickies in the Noob Section before asking further questions. Many of your answers can be found there.

Now question has been answered, so this is locked now.

PS - Card stock is actually two words.
