Much better stuff available. High density urethane foam would be ideal, but expensive. Styrofoam can be laminated, then carved. Blue foam has a tighter texture than the white. Regular white glue works, solvent based glues eat the less expensive foam. Coarse sand paper and sharp knives work on foam for shaping. Someone might be able to suggest a better material.
