roof idea

Let's say you need a roof. Let's say you need it for your huge AT-AT model :) .

Wedge plates have numerous limitations and the most obvious one is lack of variety. (Also, they are studded and have terrible, toothed edges) So if you need specific angles of a trapezoid, studless roof (for your AT-AT, for instance ;) ), you need something better.

The red parts you see here are plates 1 x 4 with studs on ends. The rest is obvious. I positioned the red plates MORE OR LESS in the right place, but you need to experiment to achieve a desired angle between yellow plates. There are lots of studholes to be used, you know :) .

When you're done with experimenting, just add a mirror reflection of your setup symetrically and there you have it - a trapezoid roof. You may also need to strenghten the red plates, adding another big plate underneath.
