Heavy and not resistant to moisture. Sintra and Alumalite are both cheap at about $200 for a 8' by 4' board, very light weight and easy to work. Alumalite is a plastic core sandwiched in aluminum. Sintra in expanded PVC. Sintra can be easily formed by using a heat gun. I think it will be easier to shape than wood. Then the base shape is set then you can vacuum bag it with CF or just glass over it. Larpers make their armer out of it.
