>>83161 If you score the fold lines thoroughly, using regular printer paper or thicker cardstock won't make much of a difference; even small parts will fold easily when using cardstock. Same for curving: if you curve it before you glue it, thin paper or thicker cardstock won't make much of a difference. Glue that works for regular paper will work for cardstock as well; it's not the thickness that matters, but the surface area; paper is poreus, and so is cardstock. Only if it's treated to make the surface non-poreus (very smooth paper) it may be more difficult to glue it, but most regular hobby glue won't have any problem with that either. Scaling it up (printing it bigger) helps of course if you're not good at very small parts: usually the bigger the part, the easier it is to handle. You should just try it to see if it works for you. Maybe not buy an entire pack of cardstock, but sometimes they sell sheets per piece as well.
