What I need are...
11 1x4x1 Gray Arches
1 1x6x1 Gray Arch
I did notice that the Large "Moo Men" set for next year has quite a few of
both. This catalog scan has the best picture. Look at the model on the right
side of the pic.

If anyone has some of these arches they could spare let me know I did make a
post in Lugnet.marketplace.buy-sell-trade . Here is the link for details.

Not really. I am quite cautious and a couple of times I have had to stop
myself from forcing them together. As long as I take my time and wiggle the
sections together it works fine. The biggest advantage for me was that I did
not have to worry about hiding hinges in the wall.
I may put some pictures up in the next few days so you can all see where I am
at and how the Technic solution looks. Maybe even tonight I can get a "sneak
peak" page up or something.
