I need good paper for a ryujin 2.1 I heard you can use sheets of kraft but kraft is not avalible here. There is a paper called khaki paper I wonder if it will work? Also I can use tracing paper. Recommend good paper please or if these are usable tell me
Thank You

There are many papers which are good for Ryujin. You should do some test folds (scales, head etc.) from the papers You have and then You'll know which one is the best for this model.

Thanks, but will printer paper work like A0 or A1

No, printer paper is way too thick. You'll need something very thin, such as tissue paper. Imo, cheap stuff from the corner shop or something should work, after MCing 2 sheets together, but if you want something of a better quality, just look online for something like Unryu or some other handmade tissue paper. Make sure that it's very thin though.

Will khaki tissue work?

Yeah, I don't think colour really matters aside from for aesthetic purposes. Just be sure to reinforce with MC.

Isn't that the expensive stuff used in wallpapers? And what does reinforce with mc mean? (sorry mc noob here we just use tracing paper to fold here :p)

Order 10gsm or 15gsm gampi online.

I live in pakistan so many websites don't ship here, any other paper that can work say tracing paper or butter paper?

Can i treat kite paper with mc?? will that work????

Kite paper is waxed, right? So, no, you can't MC it.

what about crepe paper no tissue paper avalible here, or anything we only have like butter paper and that too no largr than 60x60 cm

We also have some brown paper it's quite big but thick

You can join smaller papers together. I haven't used it much, but I bet tracing paper would work.

What should I use to join the paper
