I used a 4' x 8' sheet of 4mm stuff for that box. I procured the
coroplast from a FastSigns franch for $40, though there is a coro
supplier here in town that sells the stuff for $20 (I needed it right
away). The first place I tried to buy a sheet from wanted $90 for a
sheet! That's the per-sq-foot rate!
I used gaffer's tape for the corners and hinges and so far the box has
lasted 2 years. It's also large enough to fit my Mantis and a Citation
(Super-V-esque) when I take the DLG foam fittings out of it.

Make sure any box you make looks at least as good as this one:
