I have used these for years to create instant scenics.	They work 
well and should last forever.  However, do not use plaster!  Instead 
buy a small bag on Fix All or Durhams Rock Putty or the 
equivalent.  These are non shrinking plastic compounds that are 
cheap and durable.  They have the added plus of working well to 
patch the holes in urethane models.  Dark brown or black paint can 
be added to pre-color the putty, but it does increase drying time.
