4 layers of 65lb cardstock is a bit more than 1mm thickness and can be claimed to be 4x176gsm (704gsm)
This is not an accurate weight measure since weight measures change with different types and density of cards.
Not to mention, the glue interlayers.
I think the point was "creating 1mm/2mm thickness" from multiple layers of card.
Calling it 600 gsm was just a bit misleading for you.
This is a very interesting project.
The Canon model looks like a very good base for your ideas.
Good luck.
I often look for original manufacturer Parts catalogs and Repair Manuals.
I've used them on my Centurion and Saladin models.
Even the Parts/Instruction manuals for plastic models come in handy.
The Japanese produce some good kits with detailed Assembly diagrams that can help with paper model design.
