Hi, I'm a Newbie from California!

I will get some disital models from Gremir model or somewhere. After get them, I have to print-out for starting. But, I don't have idea.

What kind of paper I have to choose... I want to know what paper is best to modeling (including purchase information....)

I read some post from Cardmodel Q/A, but I couldn't find mentioned papars...

I'm looking for matt and good paper to build airplane or ship model.
Please let me know what paper is good to build paper model!!

Thanks:D

Staples or Office Depot white card stock. That should be your basic material for printing out your own models.

Hi & welcome. I primarily use 67 lb White Bristol cardstock . Some things required regular bond printer paper (20 lb) and a very small amount require something heavier (e.g. 90 or 110 lb.). All of these are available at Office Depot. There are some specialty papers people use such as colored or metallic available on line or at craft stores or blueprinter suppliers. Hope this helps.

I would suggest checking the nearest office supply store. In South korea I would assume that your paper is weighed in metric. So..the 67lb stock that is the most common would be 145 g/sm. 110 lb heavy stock would be 200 g/sm. Hope this helps.
