B.J. The Aquarius 2 watercolor paper might do what you need. I would laminate two layers --- front view and back view of figure and then try spray with a craft store acrylic sealer or brush on FUTURE acrylic floor wax.. They may even be OK without sealing and a double layer is about 160 pound paper. The stuff is expensive but if you lay out and cut carefully you can get a lot out of a sheet.
The thick varnishes people use on decoupage might also work well. That is a fun kind of project --- I built a number of card and wood dollhouses for and with my daughter --- I probably enjoyed them as much as she did.
