Hi all!

I am building a building, with octocal walls. I use hinge bricks anf plates,
which gives me almost 45 degrees walls.
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1004790

I am looking for a way to add a roof, and found this:
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/6121

Too small though, but then I saw this part:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=105779

It took me some time, and I found it on peeron too:
http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2598
Does not fit either, and not in red.

STILL, this tells me, that there are parts out there, without the name "roof",
which I might be able to use. I have searched and tried a bit, but still I miss
the final solution.

Can anyone help me with a hint for a brick, roof part or anythinbg for a roof
for this?

Try to imagine what a series of 45° corner slopes (or even 30° corner slopes) (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.schleim)
