I have a cruiser model in PDF and thinking of printing it as my first experiment model.
What kind of paper would you suggest me to use?

 

[SZKUTNIK]

Hi mikegr,
I use canson paper 160g, 120g, 90g and 60g

Cruiser model as my first experiment model.......... you are very courageous. I advise you to start gluing with a simple model consisting with few elements.
I know, everybody wants to start gluing the model: Iowa, Bismarck, Yamato, Nimitz but............
