Cardstock is acceptable. It's been my go-to paper for the first couple of models. You can get pretty rough with cardstock, which makes it an ideal type of paper if you don't have the patience or experience. Just don't expect the result to look anywhere near clean as the original unless you assemble the model very carefully. Definitely not the best for detailed works with small pieces for this reason. Way too thick to put together small pieces without making a mess, and forget doing models with frills or complex hair.

Just finished making 90% of the cuts on this baby with cardstock. Going to have a hell of a time working on the hat, fingers, and hair though. One would need ridiculously expensive paper to get the quality shown in the picture.

Touhou cosplay gets a LOT of shit for being posted in /jp/.

I've 5.4GB of the stuff. 600MB is of Touhou. I've only actually put together around 5 or something, because I am a lazy asshole.

Can we talk about crafts in general, and making your own trash? I think it would be nice to just throw around ideas for people to make, and giving general directions and shit, instead of focusing solely on papercraft.

When I finish Marisa, I want to work on this Suwako. But it's being a pain in the ass because my printer is being angry toward me.
