Floating chimney. Am I seeing things?

A house is being built on my route home. The chimney just went on. The
chimney sits on the roof - two pots and it looks like brick. But there's
nothing underneath.
Plastic chimneys, just there for show.
There is a row of new terraced houses near to me where they had the same
thing done, the chimneys were stacked to one side for a few weeks until
the roof was finished, then stuck on.
Apparently, the planners had to make the new houses blend in with the
area, and, they did, from a distance, they look like old terrace houses.
I didn't know you could get them with misaligned brick courses,
wonky pots, the pointing missing, and a large clump of grass
growing out the top? ;-)
I've also got visions of an aerial installer tighening the
chimney strap and the chimney puckering in around the middle :-)
