I'm looking at doing this for the arches that support something (i.e., have
bricks above). It would be hard to make it look right for a stand-alone arch,
though.

Right now I'm working on the groin vault for the interior ceiling. I'm using a
regular (studs-up) technique, and it's coming together pretty well. I'm just not
sure if it will be feasible to actually build. I'll be using *a lot* of inverted
slope bricks. Can you buy those in bulk, or are they just part of some sets?
