What kind of paper do you recommend? I know you say thick, but could you be more specific?
It's difficult to give a simple conversion for lbs paper weights because of the different paper types in that system, but it's about 2.5 times as thick as regular printer paper (usually 75-80 gsm).
It's really just a personal choice, though: I like it because it makes the final model nice and strong and I find it easy to work with, but other people prefer anything from 120-160 gsm.
Most stores that carry regular printer paper also sell thicker office paper, and if not, they can order it for you.
Have fun building!
