200gm paper from Office works 250 sheets = around $25

I cannot remember exactly where the pepakura came from did find it on the forums somewhere. So i have a mac ( media student ) as they are excellent for video editing and manipulating and my pc lays in pieces was i took it apart and was unable to assemble it back together, so i had to use a friends windows laptop for a day to print it all out.
