If you get thin strips of plastic then:
1) wrap the first piece around the outside
2) have another strip the same size ready
3) cover the first layer with a film of epoxy
4) before it dries, layer on the next strip of plastic.
5) repeat until it's at the desired thickness.

The best type of plastic to use is one that is thin enough to bend around, but sturdy enough to not crease or snap.

Wood.

You can glue it, fill it, shape it, sand it, smooth it. The works.

Wood is probably the easiest and most flexible material you can use (although it is a little heavy). flexiable as in workable. not physically flexible.
