You buy preformed arch pieces (anywhere which sells plastering materials) which you plaster over. Make sure you fix them in place with galvanised screws or nails, of you can get rush patches showing through decorations after a while in theory.
Newsgroups don't work that way, sorry.
... or you can get rust ...
Hi
Usual method is to get some hardboard, and nail it in place, then plaster above it/onto it to make your plaster arch. Remove hardboard and finish off. The hardboard just controls the underside of the arch.
