Paper type? Anonymous
What type of paper does /po/ use for papercraft? I've tried it on regular print paper, it's too weak and seems to light, I've also tried Premium Inkjet Matte paper, which is a tiny bit better but still too fragile and wobbly. I finally stuck to using high gloss premium photo paper and those work great, but they're too damn expensive and I think I'm using more than I should.

Well if you dumbshits had a sticky then this wouldn't happen, huh. Everybody else manages to have their rules and entry-level information highly visible. Get with the program.

Apparently you want 67lb cardstock. Which is all Greek to me, but good luck.

lolwut? It says regular copy paper is 20-30lb and I know that's 80-90g/m² for me. Now let's see, they recommend 160-180g for papercraft, which wheights twice as much. That's okay.
But this website recommends 67lb paper for normal papercraft. 67/30 = 2.233 and 67/20 = 3.35. There must be something wrong.
And 110/30 = 3.7 and 110/20 = 5.5.
Whoever did this just gathered information without confirming them apparantly.

You cannot blindly compare lbs and gsm when it comes to paperweight: the lbs system does not take into account the size of the sheets, which is kinda important: the paperweight 67 lbs could mean 500 sheets the size of a football field weigh 67 lbs, or 500 sheets the size of a postal stamp weigh 67 lbs. That's a hueg difference. It's why you're given 5 different answers on http://www.hagadoneprinting.com/4dlink/4daction/paperWeightConverter (the five most common ones) for papercraft, you want to be looking at the Index answer: 200 gsm = 110 lbs, 120 gsm seems to be the 67 lbs you're talking about, and regular 80 gsm paper is 45 lbs.
Use whatever works best for you. When somebody says: it will be flimsy when you use X paper, it means HE thinks it's flimsy, maybe you'll find it perfect. If someone says, you don't need thick paper, it's only expensive and you don't need it to be that sturdy, he's right about it being MORE expensive, but maybe you do want your papercrafts to be stronger. It's a personal choice.

where does anon find paper to use?
Im not worried about super high quality, just something not overly flimsy. can thicker paper be bought at your average "big box" store or is it better to go to an art supply store?

Art stores usually sell expensive stuffs, while for papercraft, you want cheapo cardstock. Just regular cardstock. Ask the store where you buy your office supplies. Stores that sell paper, usually also sell cardstock. If not, ask the people at the store where you might find some, or if they can order it for you. Get your DVDs online, get your paper at the store near you.

However, a lot of us live in america and must use lbs when selecting paper. For Letter 67 or 110 lbs is the best. Try buying both and seeing which one is better for you.

I normally use 135 gsm sketch paper, with photo paper it varies from too flimsy to too thick. Started using lighter cardstock for simple models. Really depends on the type of models and how much detail. If there is a lot of details use photo paper.
