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.
How does the 57' Chevy glue?

Curious what samples you chose from paper-papers.

Hard to decide which ones to try Shimmer, Stardream, petallic metallics, etc...

Would like some really shiny stuff, been thinking of checking the Shimmer Metallics.

Sounds like only 3-samples for free without spending $$$ for sample packs. It is hard to narrow it down to just 3.

My list is 3-manufacturers, approx. 5-different colors each...
