I would recommand PVA-glue since it's easy to work with and cheap and does a great job on any scenery. I have a glue gun myself, and never use it (or at least not for hobby-related things...). It's also about the messiest thing to work with I think and leaves thick ugly traces of glue were there shouldn't be any... Also, if you're glue gets a bit too hot, or your gun nears to close to the foam, it has the risk to melt... I'd go all the way for PVA

Yeah stick with PVA for hobby stuff. I got a hot glue gun but haven't used it for anything hobby related. Used it on me footy boots. |

A hot glue is like any specialized tool, a glue stick might last a year then suddenly you will need 10 in a hour. I almost never use it for model work but it is handy when I build terrain. My brother uses his to make trees. A low temperature gun works well with foam products . I still prefer Liquid Nails. |
