Gpm mi-17
Hi folks,
i have had the GPM MI-17 kit for a long while and now i think i am ready to start it. I have a question, about the thickness of the former. Since my polish is poor to non existent then i would like to know if anyone has completed the kit and what thickness are the former... 1, 1.5 or 2 MM i have various card stock , that's not the problem, its which one to use. thanks Peter |

The thickness of formers cardboard is not crirical. Try to use the stiffest you can find and yet, easy to cut. What I do is vectorize structural parts using Corel or similar software and get the parts laser cut which allows thicker cardboards and absolute precision.

thanks, i posted this on the papermodel facebook page and one guy that completed it in 2017 mentioned he used 1 mm so i think that might work well. GPM also has laser cut formers that i might order as i have an order ready to go . might same me lots of time and bother, but thanks for the info

That kit has an interior and pretty extensive as I recall. I would go with laser cut formers. I'm sure it would save you some headache.
