I recommend 110 lb card stock its super heavy weight but it will hold up to the folding and gluing and wont warp to much. As a tip Most people want to start with the helmet but stop after they complete the helmet. I start from the feet and work up leaving the chest and helmet last as they are the most looked at pieces and hardest to do. So a little practice on smaller pieces like the hands a feet that if get messed up wouldn't be to bad to redo. As for glues I have seen people use super glue, elmers glue, hot glue I've used them all and i prefer hot glue my self. These are just a few tips I learned over a few builds/ mistakes Good luck with the build.
