LEGO Roof Techniques

In this video, I'm taking a deeper dive into the techniques I used to build the roof for my second LEGO houseboat MOC.
I am using Artlist.io for the music in my videos. If you are a creator in need of music for your videos, I highly recommend checking it out. And to that end, here is a link that will get you two extra months if you decide to sign up:

I’m a huge fan of this technique. Great tutorial Dave!

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks Tyler! Much appreciated. 🙂

[@desibricks]

Quite a simple yet elegant technique.

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks! 🙂

[@jerryterwase9027]

This was so helpful. As an architect , I find this highly innovative.

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks Jerry! I'm glad it was helpful. 🙂

[@beskarbricks2686]

There is some great tips in this video, thanks for making it!

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you found it helpful. 🙂

This is a really informative video. The green roof looks great and the pieces you used are very different from regular roof pieces being used. Your video is very creative. I love your start as it puts your mind in a good place, your entire video is very smooth and your music choice is great and very smooth as well. I can tell that you are getting very relaxed in front of the camera and your video skills are getting to be really professional. I sure do hope you are enjoying both the Lego building as well as the video techniques you are using. I look forward to seeing more videos from you and in short - great job!!

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thank you very much Judith. I always appreciate your thoughtful and supportive comments! I am having fun with figuring out what to do with the openings. Without trying, I've kind of come up with a format for my videos that I think works pretty well. And I'm definitely enjoying both the LEGO *and* the video production aspects. 🙂

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks much! I have a number of other MOC and tutorial videos on the list that I'll continue working on over time.

[@saltys1065]

Thanks a lot! I was stuck on the roof building part for my house!

[@DavesBrickHouse]

You're welcome! Glad it helped. I know for me roofs are hard, so I'm happy to share anything I've learned. 🙂

[@classicbricks6636]

Wow that roof looks very slick! These techniques are very helpful, I used to always use the slope pieces for the roofs but this will work a lot better and look better. Thanks Dave!👍

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks! I've used the slope pieces before, but it takes a LOT of them to do a whole roof. Plus with this technique you can do all kinds of different roof surfaces.

[@BrickBlaze]

Excellent video!! This was very informative.

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks a bunch Jason!

[@BrickBlaze]

[@rpbricks255]

Thanks Dave, I need to use this technique when I start making my house 👍

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Cool! I'm happy it will be useful for you. 🙂

[@BrooksBricks]

Very cool Dave! This is an area that I'm trying to refine myself (roof techniques) so It's great to see ways to do things other than just a flat horizontal style :D

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks Matt! Roofs are an area where I want to continue pushing myself, as there are so many cool looking roof designs. I just need to keep learning more about how to build them in LEGO! 🙂 In a future MOC video, I have a roof of which I'm very proud! *now Matt is curious* 😉

[@BrooksBricks]

@@DavesBrickHouse Matt's * always * curious with your work. haha

[@lawllaygoh]

What a great technique. Did the plate also help center the roof as well?

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks Greg. And yes - it did also help with that!

[@Scotts_Blocks]

Another great vid and tips. Thanks Dave!

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks as always Scott!

[@BrickhamsDen]

Nice video Dave and great roof technique! You can view the slight gap ad the ridge as your continuous roof vent 😉

[@DavesBrickHouse]

Thanks Rick! And good call. 😉

[@janellebutner72]

Thank you for the useful technique!

[@DavesBrickHouse]

You're welcome. I'm glad it was helpful. 🙂

[@messerschmitt_bf109]

I was assigned to make a lego model of my small cabin for my CADD class and I could not figure out a way to my shed style roof to stay on. I have a limited variety of parts but this technique uses parts that were already available to me. Thanks for the help.

[@DavesBrickHouse]

That's great to hear! I'm glad this video was helpful. 🙂

[@musoandafan965]

Thankyou

[@DavesBrickHouse]

You're welcome Thomas! And thank you. 🙂
