I have used sintra (Foamex PVC) to build three suits. You can get it in two thickness's that i know of. 3mm and 6mm. The 6 mil is about a 1/4 inch thick and is very durable. I would recomend using a skill saw/jig saw to cut out the peices when you trace out your patterns. You'll burnt out a dremel if you use it. You can use a heat gun (my preference) to heat up the plastic to bend it into shape. It holds it's shape very well and takes paint and glue very well.
Hope that helps.
Happy Building
