Flat-roofed shack

[Athos]

Definately needed a slanted roof.

I also think roofs look better, if the slanted bricks overlap the wall by one-stud. Whereas, plate roofs, should be on the inside of the wall.

As for finishing the roof, just put some plates on it and you'll be ok. This can help you out, if you have a roof in a color that doesn't have the top bricks.

Roofs can be very tough, but there are a variety of ways to do it:

Sloped bricks:

Someone should really do a tutorial on roof building...
