The cereal boxes, at least in Germany, are about 1/2 mm (0,02") thick.
Which is why I suggested the JUMBO sized boxes.
That card board is noticeably thicker then the "standard" regular sized boxes and stiffer. I've even laminated two pieces together to make it even thicker. If you like I can go home and measure the the thickness to show you what I mean. That said, I've used a variety of thickness in a couple of different ways to get the thickness I'm looking for. In the two small scratch buildings I've done, I've used the Jumbo cereal box thickness, regular thickness and for some reason the cardboard used to pack coke cans is thinner...which I've used for drop siding.
If I may, check out my Interlocking Tower... its made out of cereal box. http://www.the-gauge.net/forum/viewtopic...1&start=75
