I'm wanting to acquire more arches at the moment. I'd particularly like some 1x3 arches, but am interested in arches more generally as well. Does anyone know of any sets currently available that feature a lot of arches (or even some arches)? (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) The B-Wing pergola has 2 (or is it four?) 1x3 in light grey (plus lots of other nice parts). The Paradisa BBQ has 2 1x4 in dark pink. Neither of these is current, but there seemed to be an inexhaustable supply of Paradisa BBQs. Some of the (...) (23 years ago, 1-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

Hi Kerry As far as I've noticed the only way to get castle wall elements is to buy the Guarded Inn from S@H. The B-Wing (7190) does indeed have some arches above the sliding doors (unless my memory is really kaput) so you probably already have (...) (23 years ago, 2-Oct-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
