Pretend your friend says to you:
"what kind of petrol do you use and where do you buy it?"
And you say..."search the internet for "Cars that use petrol"
and then you ask "how far do you plan on driving"
and then you say "you might want to get extra fuel if you are towing a trailer".
Then look and see how frustrated your friend gets.
LOL
Kevin...ALL DUE RESPECT to you and those who have posted...
I am aware of all of this and I understand all of this.
I'm not trying to compare anything, or relate US paper cardstock, or compare the thickness of cardstocks.
Thats why I said card thickness is irrelevent.
I have a guy with no understanding of how to build my paper model.
He wants to know what card to go and buy so he can get started.
Because he cannot go to the same stores as me, and buy the exact same product as me,
its pointless to tell him about US cardstocks, weight and measures, thicknesses,
conversion processes, name differences, the colour of the sky over Mt. Everest....
He's never even bought card for models before, so hes lost.
He wants me to say "go the the big red store, buy the blue package of No.1 paper, with the yellow rabbit on the front"
And thats all was asking from the UK modellers here.
Tell me which store you went to?
And which packet, of what type of paper, did you buy.
What stuff do you actually use?
I don't need tips on how to search the internet...I could outsearch the best of you.
I don't want explanations on what the differences are between paper and card.
At this point, I am beaten...
I am judged to be rude and arrogant for repeating my original question.
"UK Modellers...what paper/card stock do you use and where did you get it?"
As I said...let it go...Its hard enough trying to help this guy when I am in Canada,
but I don't need the frustration and angst of starting a fight.
