Fiberglass?

Otherwise you could probably form it with a heat gun and some patience...

I have the heat gun. Patience, not so much.

Fiberglass might be an option. I'm going to go look at Hobby Lobby today for some high density foam that I can use to begin carving a replica of what I want, at least externally.

You could fab it up out of aluminum pieces, (easy to bend) put them together with small nuts and bolts, and then JB weld the seams, sand and paint.

That was my thought, either a fiberglass enclosure, or an aluminium one with silicon sealant to keel it water tight.

If the piece of aluminium is large enough, cut it out to include, sides, front, back top and bottom, then fold it over , pop rivet it to iteself with silicon to seal it , fill in any gaps with JB weld, sand and paint
