I've played around with Paper Creek kits and building paper. (I note on a web search that the firm is no longer in business, but you may be able to scrounge some stuff up -- luckily, I have some stuff left.) Here's an enginehouse I built from their building paper, following a Milwaukee Road plan in RMC.
Under construction with foamcore backing and wooden bracing:
Completed, with roof. All surfaces are Paper Creek paper; windows and doors are Grandt Line.
The same rules apply for paper kits as apply with wood, but more so. You have to brace corners and edges carefully, but the results can be very good.
I use Elmer's glue pretty much exclusively for paper.
