sup /po/, frenchfag here. I started papercrafts yesterday, buyed an x-acto, superglue, and the only paper I was able to find was 100mg/m² or 160mg/m² so I buyed the 160, isn't this too much ? I feel like the paper can't stay folded, and I use superglue on every parts I have to glue.

also, what model should I try ? the snes arwing was my first try, not that easy, and the cubee was just... stupid. I'm thinking about trying the realistic arwing, but it seems SO hard, with tiny pieces to fold...

I think you mean 160 g/m2, not mg: toiletpaper would be (way) thicker than that... ;)

It is fine, it's what most people use. Score any folds ("scratch" along the fold line) and it bend easily. Any regular paper glue will do fine just don't use to much (make sure it's just sticky, not really wet) you don't have to use superglue but i fit works for you then why not right?

Any papercraft that gets you enthustiastic is a good one to try, because that will ensure you have the motivation to finish it. With most people it's not the difficulty/tiny pieces that's the problem, but the time they're willing to spend on doing a good job.

thanks to both of you, I will try the pencil thing. And i think I will do the realistic arwing, but it seems that it need some transparent plastic(?) for the cockpit...

when you have this heavy paper, you also could do some life sized models, where not every flap is so small.

there are models, which are white, so you can fibreglass them, so they geat heavy, and robust
