Paper Replika Tiger
I've had a go at a few 1/100 Tanks, discovered that 80g paper was no good. Switched to 120g, finding a bit fiddly. Found this model through the forums, but unsure which card to use. Would 160g be ok, or should I get 200g. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It doesn't state any paper weight on the instructions or parts file but I would think that you would be OK with 160 gsm paper for the skin parts and print on 80gsm for any parts that need to be laminated onto card....

Thanks for that chap, I should be able to get 160g from Staples. It was if I needed to go to 200g I thought I'd have to go to a craft shop or somewhere else

If you go to heavier weights, you may also need to check that your printer can handle it. My last one had one of those paper feed that feed the paper back through 180 degrees and the heavy paper would regularly jam. My new printer has a manual straight through feed that can handle much heavier weights...

I'm using a HP Photosmart 5520, it's supposed to be able to go up to 300g. Haven't tested that though

My Epson Stylus CX 7400 handles 220gsm without any problem.
