Maybe I missed or forgot this, but is there a reason you're only using
tan? I think that yellow plates would work well for a thatched roof, and
they'd add a bit of needed color to your town.
Alternately, don't use plates at all - use bricks! After all, a thatched
roof is basically made of straw, and they had to put it on pretty darn
thick for it to be both waterproof and insulating. (I also think that in
older houses they generally just put the new thatch on top of the old
stuff when it needed to be replaced) You might even be able to find some
2x3 bricks with the rounded ends - I'm pretty sure those exist - to use
for the eaves.
