Tetters, go for it if you like it! I personally am too in love with styrene 
I have played around with card stock, but will probably only use it for temporary buildings (mostly due to the techniques I like and my durability fears). It is most certainly a viable and cheap material. You have demonstrated your excellent skills in other areas, and I'd like to see what you could do with thick paper!
In the days before plastic, the big four were cardstock, metal (brass, steel & aluminum), dental stone, and wood. Today, I'd say that they are plastic, metal, hydrocal, and wood. While cardstock fallen out of favor with most modelers, it certainly has its perks and is still a viable material! The cost is tough to beat...and the satisfaction in having an essentially free building which blows away someone else's $40 Walthers kit or rivals a $200 FSM kit.
Galin, your lines may not be all that straight...but the more obvious detail...your windows...look nice and square!
