I’m working on my first house-type model and have a roof question for you experienced town-builders.

Unfortunately, I cannot use the roof slopes for this project, because the roof is sloped at 30 degrees rather than 45 degrees, and has a valley-type intersection (see the areas labeled “v” in this picture at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rf-iso1.gif). If LEGO only had 33-degree double concaves like the 45-degree ones, I’d be all set.

The intersection of the two roof segments are at a 90-degree angle, as in that Wikipedia picture.

I need to sit down and play with this for a while this weekend, but I figured I would also check with folks here to see if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks!

Angling some wing plates is the only solution I’m aware of and it’s not that great IMO. Basically it’s a nasty problem. You may be able to try something tricky with 1x1 slopes too.
