Roofing a House, 2-roofing techniques to improve lego homes

I have already brought up some basic house building techniques in a previous post.
In this post i will continue with the basic roofing of houses.

Lego just recently released info on another one of their big sets for next year.
This time it was the                                      

10243 Parisian Restaurant. After taking a closer look at this model i realized that the roofing was rather abnormal for Lego. This model featured some large sloping elements to form the roof. Often techniques like these are excluded from official lego sets. 

Now, as mentioned before, most lego houses are designed for a beginner's age group. so, more complex roof designs are excellent to find in new sets. 

with this all said, it's time to get to the building tech part of this post:
House roofing techniques....

Building tips: minifig bed.

This is just something quick i'm throwing together to present an awesome way to create a realistic minifig scale Lego bed. A while ago i set out on a two minute mission to design a perfect bed. actually turned out great!  and now i'm sitting here posting about it : )





okay, for starts...

this is the frame, evidently it ended up simple.

here's a breakdown photo.

basically two fence railing elements create the base.

And the cool part is, i even used black minifig legs to style the headboard.

Then, all you got left to do is to make a mattress. this was pretty easy.

just take a small piece of foam, wrap it with tape, and tape a cloth over the top as a 

mattress cover. 

so there, simple Lego bed for ya. comment below and tell me if you use it in any models

and how. 

I would like to thank all of my readers and please subscribe :)
