Very workable.

I cant remember the thickness, i believe it was 1/8" but I made some helicopter bodies, and 1:6 scale motorcycle helmets, using lexan.

You would have to use an oven to heat the plastic, until it droops a bit. Different plastics require different heat, but 1.5 mil, is thin, compared to the lexan I used.
