I have also built a bunch of buildings in this style, although with a roof made
of roof bricks. You are right about the black 1x1's and plates. I managed to
get a near-monopoly on those pieces in the last Auczilla (at great cost!), and
snag a bunch of plates from the K8 grab at Brickfest. I am really glad that the
black roof pieces were part of the initial offering the LEGO direct. Another
very useful piece is the black 2x2 L-plate. I use these to hold everything
together at the corners. Here are some pics taken by Dan Boger of my buildings
at Brickfest. I plan to get some pics of my own up soon.

The buildings are in:

Let me know what you think!
