170gsm

It seems that you don't have 170gsm, you only have 140-160.... Ah well, I just put that instead :)

I've dropped my papercraft (especially SSBM Link, HoL and ZaL) soooo soooo soooooo many times, and the only thing that's happened to them is that an arm or a leg falls off. Never any dents or anything :)

I used to use regular printer paper, but since PVA glue sinks through and leaves ugly marks all over it and the model is really really weak, I started using Double Matt paper. I'm not really sure if it's called that outside Britain, but Double Matt is 170gsm and Single Matt paper is 120gsm. I've only used Single Matt once, but it didn't really work that well so I've stuck to 170gsm ever since :D

RE: 170gsm

Haha yeah, I had to limit the options sorry, or else there would have been too many options to choose from... ;o)

My own models also sometimes fall down, but they're always pretty easily repaired; and even if a part is so badly damaged that it's beyond repair, you can always print another one! ;o)
