Just searching for "thermocol" got me the following links.

http://www.rcindia.org/tools-materials-and-building-techniques/rc-plane-building-from-thermocole/

As the folks in the east/north-east have proven, beautiful planes can be built from thermocol, as long as you use proper covering to strengthen it later on.

Just use search, and read through for more information.
