Yet another method is using clear plastic rods or parts, which are heated and pulled a bit, so that they become longer and thinner. While warm they can be bent and formed, and with some glue (eg. PVA but others also work) you can add some texture and make it more interesting.

Yep, I did.
I used Contacta glue from Revell. It is intended for plastic models, so be carefull because it can damage plastic surfaces and it also can dissolve fresh paint. The advantages are it is quite cheap, transparent, can be painted easily (haven't tried to mix it with acrylic paints, but my guess is it should work), dries not too quickly so it can be shaped for quite some time. It is dense and really sticky. You must take into account, that while drying it reduces its volume, so the drops it produces are substantially thinner than at the beginning. It also easy to remove unwanted stains of glue even up to 20 minutes after application.
Need to know anything else?
