ok, so im sort of new to papercraft (ive been doing origami for a few years just as a trick when im bored, but never really cutting and glueing)

but i was just wondering what types of glue to use (is plain white elmer's fine?) and what type of paper to use (ive done a few little things with printer paper, but should i use special, thicker paper for projects like in this pic?) and any other tips/tricks would really be appreciated

pic semi related......its the project id like to do sometime soon :P
