Howdy JT,

well you are on the right track as far as I am concerned...i too use glossy photo paper for cardmodels. Being photo paper, the color holds fast and the gloss shine cant be beat. Although, you can spray a clear gloss coat over the finished model to "lock in" the printing. Another plus is that Photo paper generally resists water for the most part, the drawback of photo paper is the use of white glue.
Although white glue will work, photo paper is naturally "springy" so instead, i use superglue.
If there are any specific type models you are looking for, let me know and I probably have a link to them somewhere in my computer.

have a good day,

Greg
