It looks wonderful!  Would you mind sharing the recipe for the crust?  We
also tried to make freestanding pastry containers for our last feast and
they turned out much the same as you describe your first attempt -  ie
they self destructed (which is why I ended up using way more paper mache
than I had originally intended).
