I stand corrected.
Then the type of card/paper, and its thickness, would be of note.

Over 2mm thickness and still only 600gsm would be a lightweight less dense cardboard,
rather than a denser card like cardstocks or illustration board.
So, it would be a lot easier to cut.

I use softer Cereal box card for internal formers in aircraft models.
I could laminate 4 layers to get close to 2mm thickness.
Its easier to cut and it would be no more than 600gsm.

I think this is all important information for card modelers.
Nice to know how a builder achieves various things and what he uses.
