<The beam loads are made from a thin cardboard-like material. Many of
the parts are backed with adhesive and, at least the "green monster"
load pretty much assembled w/o glue (I painted mine a more sedate grimy
black). I've found it to take paint well, so it is not paper-like.>
There is a resin impregnated paper material being used by some laser kit folks. It works great for windows and other fine details.
