Default Armour - Sheet Metal Suggestions

Hi all,

I'm a planning to construct a miniature suit of plate armour,
and wanted to get suggestions on the best gauge of sheet metal
for this project.

Since it's a miniature, I won't need the standard 16-gauge
used for armour-making -- rather, something
about as thick as cardboard, or a little thicker than the sheet
used in tin cans.

Thanks in advance!
