Sure, if you build an elaborate "honeycomb" core structure, then cover it with several layers of fiberglass, you can end up with a very rigid, durable structure, providing that no water gets into the core and turns it into mush. I seriously doubt that the OP hear has anything like that level of complexity in mind. He's talking about using cardboard boxes, Styrofoam coolers and latex paint as building materials.
