This is also interesting and something I can use in the future. However, I was
actually referring to the roof itself. I've been using more of the curved
bricks rather than the slopped ones. The problem I have is coming up with a
roof that flows just as much from the front as it does from the sides.
For example, on Max's Motorhome, I really don't like the front slopes combined
with the curved sides. It's the best solution I came up with but IMHO it just
doesn't look realistic.
