This would be too heavy for many smaller models and for them I'll use either a 65 lb. card or a 67 lb. card. I've attached a pair of photographs showing some of the product available from Neenah. I look for a cardstock with a smooth finish, as it seems to give the best prints for modeling.

Ultimately, the choice of paper is a personal preference and a bit of experimentation is worth the effort.

Score and fold,

Hi Thumb Dog. That's awesome that you said that because I actually had just come home with 110lb Neenah cardstock. So right on with that lol

We'll see how it goes, I am cutting a rather small Ladybug as we speak so that'll be a good testament for me and this thinkness of paper. Hopefully it all works out.
