Nothing wrong with your idea. I've done it with wood-shell cases; it makes the case a LOT heavier though. And the polyester resin and fiberglass mat are both nasty stuff. You'll probably want to give that papier-maché form a few coats of varnish or something so that the resin doesn't soak into it too much.
But it doesn't take a whole lot of skill to work with the stuff, at least not for a case. An airplane or a boat, maybe.
