WIP Schreiber-Bogen Norte Dame Question

The instructions say to reinforce the flying buttresses (parts 23) with cardboard. The attachment point looks pretty thick, about 1mm. I was going to laminate some card stock to get the right thickness. Just thought I would check to see what others have done. Anyone have a better suggestion?

I laminated the buttresses with 2mm card. It keeps them straight and helps keep the pillars the same distance from the walls.

The lamination also covers up the "position" lines and make the buttresses much easier to place.

I went the extra few feet and painted the laminations to match the printed bits.

Cheers
Mike
