It worked very well - the clay 'skirts' fall out as they dry, so you
just
stuff them back in with superglue afterward.

Great minds think alike... I've got a major update coming for my
webpage,
and one of hte new pages I've been working on is "The Future Doesn't
Have
To Be Gothic: Hard SF Buildings & Scenery"... I've got a bunch of ideas
for those of us who don't think the future will look anything like
medieval Europe on acid!

I'll drop the list a notice when I update the website in a week or two;
keep an eye out. 

Anyone who has ideas they think would work on my hard-SF scenery page,
please feel free to send me ideas - I always keep original author's
credit
in place where needed.
