Actually, that was my original intention, and with the hollow stud of headlight
bricks, it’s not really that difficult.
The problem is more at the ends of the roof, where you have to cover up the
extra half slopes... which can be made easier if the building is surrounded by 2
taller buildings.
Then if you want a window (who doesn’t) you’ll have problems too. And the place
where the roof angle changes is a problem as well (nothing a good old technic
beam can’t solve)
So I quite gave up on that part of the idea... for the moment. But you’re right,
it is worth trying someday, as the effect is really gorgeous. I just felt the
effort was too much.

Also, I love the studs out approach on the facade. I have done that a few
times with my buildings.

I have to confess I’m a bit surprised by seeing so much positive reactions to
this, as it’s not really new indeed, tiles really give out a nice “bricky”
effect. The only problem being, you need tiles.
