If you do print them, make sure the paper is sufficiently thick while at the same time make sure the printer can print on those "thicker" paper.

Yea sure. Thanks for reminding, almost printing on normal sheets of thin paper...too tempted...

Most printers I know love to chew-up thick paper.

You can consider printing on normal A4 paper and just get those dimensions to draw on the various thick paper or styrene sheets, where appropriate, to get the structural support you need. Have fun.

Wow it'd be super cool to cut these patterns out of thick styrene and make really solid display pieces! But etching all the lines onto the styrene will take forever!

no idea, i know that its pretty time consuming.

Depending on how far you want to take it.

So far, I discovered with scratchbuilding, I could either scribe lines on a thick styrene (eg. 1.0) to give those nice recessed lines found on many models. Or you could use thinner styrene (eg. 0.3) cut them up and park them side by side to achieve the same recess line you require.

If its a huge model...yes it does take forever. Then again, that piece you built would be one of a kind and exists no where else in the world. And you are freed from what came in a 'box'.
