Thanks, Ace10.  I might actually try that.  I went ahead today and totally started from scratch on the dome part.  I'll keep the swirly designs for the front faces of the dome, but I really didn't like the ornament at the top there, and since it was modeled into the piece, I couldn't easily change it without some issues.  So I'm starting that part over, and will just add like a lion head or some ornament to the top center, which should look nice.

The bird baths are a great idea.  I'm going to add them as separate elements.  This is turning into a rather complex unit.
