| Well, for attaching arches upside down, I found that a 1/2 techic peg inserted into the arch worked well: (URL) bottom 2x6x1 arch is upside down. At the bottom of the arch is just tiles. It leaves a little space, but not much... <shameless plug> (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.build)

| (...) You can reduce this gap by using half-pegs instead (the ones with a stud on one end instead of another peg). This tends to be a bit loose, though. If you have the space and don't want outward signs, you could use a pair of <part:6232> "Brick 2 (...) (23 years ago, 14-Sep-01, to lugnet.build)
