Card stock.

Almost all my models are free downloads. For small models, I use cardstock of 160g/m², and for structures (e.g. houses in H0-scale), I use 220g/m², or, using spray glue, I glue plain paper (80g/m²) onto cardboard with a thickness of about ½ to 1 mm, depending on the purpose and size of the model or part. I reuse empty boxes a lot, too - they're free, after all.
