Now that the CCC is over, it’s time to get back to some tutorial content! This roof design was used in my Streets of Daydelon<\/a> model, and works well for capping 4×4 building sections. This guide also covers the wooden window design I used below the roof.
Since this little 4×4 section was in the middle of a regular gable roof, some headlight bricks and cheese were needed at the base to achieve a smooth fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this case I used white cheese, as the rest of the roof was snowy, just make sure the cheese slopes match the main roof color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A 2×4 plate and two 1×4 tiles complete the base of the window area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next some 1×2 plates and a 2×2 tile are added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The windows are framed by these bar with handle elements and lightsaber hilts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The window itself is made up 2×2 turntables, a 2×2 plate in black, and eight transparent 1×1 plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This makes a two stud thick assembly, and fits nicely in between the reddish brown frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A 4×4 plate and some white tiles are then added over the windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some brick modified with stud will hold on two sides of the roof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While the other two sides are held on by hinge bricks with 2×2 tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I made each side of the roof slightly irregular to imitate drifted snow, but all 2×2 curved slopes could be used for a more standard roof. The sideways jumper plate shown here could be replaced by a 1×2 plate if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With some 4×4 wedge slopes added, the roof is finished<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How it looks in a finished build:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
