Hi all!

I am looking for a way to add a roof, and found this:

Too small though, but then I saw this part:

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?

I've got a suggestion- try wings.

I (very) vaguely recall seeing a MOC, likely a castle one (Anyone in castle know
what I saw?), that used a roof design very similar to what you're trying to make
but the builder used plates, wings and hinges to hold them altogether.  Granted,
the geometry involved in pulling it off would give a migrane but all the
available wing sizes we have today could make it possible.

(...) I too remember seeing a round(ish) building using wings to create a round roof. However I'm pretty certain it was a railway water tower and was in a fairly recent Bickshelf gallery of a show. Anyone point me in the right direction? Tim (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.trains)
