Hi all terrain builders!

I need some terrain that would block line of sight and I'm a fan of Giger art, so I wanted to make something alike these:

I wanted to use styrofoam to make a rock shape and to cut and glue some plastic tubes like this on the top, but gluing is harder than I thought: I can't use superglue for styrofoam, and PVA glue dries to slowly to keep the tubes the shape I want them. I also know that some amazing things can be made with a hot glue gun, which I don't have (like these) and with pumpkin stalks (but these don't block LoS).

Do you have any other ideas on how to make Giger-themed terrain? Have any of you tried making it?

I thought the glue guns were more expensive - and they're so cheap! I'm buying one soon.

Thanks for all the advice!
