I've been building the 57 Chevy from Cami using the heavy card and must say its been a bit challenging. Each cut with the knife takes a few passes, and using scissors gets a little iffy around tight radii. Its difficult to make tight folds/creases, but once a curve is massaged into shape it holds well (just watch out for inner surface buckling). I'll post a thread on it soon. One thing is for sure, once built, this model will be solid. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the thick card. We'll see how the "text weight" works out for a smaller kit.
I did get my sample from paper-papers.com and it seems to be a good double-sided sheet of a nice middle weight. Review of that soon.
