Did you ever manage to get your 1x3 arches?

HA!

Wow, I am amazed that you remember that! I pursued a few sets of black arches on brickbay and eBay for a while and I think I have 9 of the 12 that I wanted. However, since the lego is all in boxes in the attic of my parents garage, I have not pursued the project. It has also expanded in scope as they have released a number of "new" colors (to me, the colors have been out for almost 10 years now) that could greatly improve the project.

Also, I tried some minture versions to get the base design down and I just could not make a root structure that I liked.

Must start building a again...

Of course!

The Gnomes of Zurich!

I should have seen that coming.

Sigh.
