Composite foam is a fantastic medium for building light, strong fibreglass and resin structures. It's a thin layer of foam on a fabric backing. It is used in boat building and it comes with one side cut into small cubes so it can flex. I can't remember the technical name for it but you could call boat builders or fibreglass supply places.

There is also honeycomb which the boat people would have as well.

Enjoying your mod. Becoming inspired.
