    Hi guys

    I am looking to create some papercraft buildings/scenery for a diorama. Things like this http://www.brumbaer.de/Wm/Build/

    Does anyone know where I can get paper of sufficient thickness (I believe it's called cardstock but I am not really sure)

    I think the thickness is 200g/m2

    Does anyone know somewhere that does printing of this thickness or if a standard printer will work?

    An 'ordinary' printer will not print 200g card. The most you can get is about 120g, not much thicker than paper, and even then it is not ideal. You will have to make some enquiries at digital printing services - they would be printing from large sheets or rolls and would show you what they have available.

    Anyone know any digital printing places in Dublin that would be appropriate?
