You could try foam board. It is a little thicker than cardboard. You can usually find it pretty cheap at Walmart by the school and office supplies. It is usually in the same rack with the poster board. The great thing about it is even if you go pretty big it will be light.
If you’re making it with clay, you should insert wooden or metal dowels into the center of the sides, for support. Same with the top, but let the clay dry a little bit and then stick it on top of the sides, with the ends of the dowels going into the clay sides. Make sense?
I’m majoring in structural engineering, so if you need help, feel free to message me or email me from my profile.
Or styrofoam? It’s light enough for the top. And to make it look finished and clean, spread the clay thinly on it, so it looks like the concrete.
And use a ruler and a razor (lightly) to make the patternwork.
