It glues just fine with regular glue. I use Tombow Mono Aqua. I'm sure it would work just as well with PVA. I made the Canon green sea turtle with Kinko's paper. I had the model printed there. It went together great with regular glue.

Wow! I can't believe I started this thread almost six weeks ago! I have been very busy with out of town trips, etc., etc. I began working on the model earlier this month, but haven't gotten around to posting any pictures yet. Here they are. I'm cutting off FG's glue tabs and making my own to create neater seams. Otherwise, it's stock. I don't even think I'm going to do any clear glass. I messed around with the nose and just couldn't get anything right, so I guess it will be paper all the way.

I'm using the glossy card stock from Kinko's/Fedex printed on my Epson Stylus 1400. I gave the sheets a quick spray of Krylon matte clear.

After this post I'm going to get back to work on the model before I get sidetracked again!

Looks good so far...adding your own glue tabs is the way to go...really makes for a much nicer joint. Look forward to seeing more...

This is looking very good. Any trouble with alignment when using butt joints?

It's coming along very well. I second Kevin's comment regarding making your own glue tabs. It's well worth the extra effort.
