Air drying clay, actually. I rolled long snakes of it, shoved it into
the
areas I wanted the skirts, smoothed the outer face, then let it dry in
place. After it's dry it falls out, so just superglue the pieces back in
and paint them.

Check your local craft store for the stuff - I've used it in a bunch of
scratchbuilding & conversion projects, where regular modelling putty
wouldn't work.
