Chucky, if I were you, I would grade up a little and use 120 gram or 160 gram paper. (I don't know the imperial weights) but about twice the thickness of regular print paper. It adds much more sturdiness to your models and is also easier to handle when you bend, fold and curve it. Also, less chance on crumples. It really helps!
Depending on the scale, I use 120 gram, 160 gram and even 200 gram A4 for my builds.
The only builds I use 80 gram printing paper for are Johan Scherft's birds. Because he recommends that in the instructions.


A random rule of thumb: unless otherwise indicated, use 160 gram paper.
