fiberglass prehaps? i have though about fiberglass as a material but it would take a lot of time and money to get a desired thickness plus fiber glassing stinks, bad for you, expensive and extreamly messy.

Fibre-glass (or better still carbon fibre) with a honey-comb (balsa end-grain might work too) core material. Similar to what is used by some boat-builders.

HZ used to do a great BP sub made out of plastic. It was very light and compact. |

Has anyone tried plastic flight case material, heavily braced? Items that spring to mind are Hexagrip, FLight panel, and diamond board, but I'm not sure about the construction of all these materials. |

They might make for suitable skin materials in a composite. Just check
that it bonds to your core and make a sandwich and you're set for
something very stiff and lightweight (the strength is a function of
core thickness)
I am affraid that just using plastic would be very sub-optimal. |

I think Hexagrip and diamond board may already be composite boards.
