Random part of the day: Roof Tile 1X4X3, Inv., Deg. 60

Seems to be used mostly as back ends of aircraft. I suppose I’d use it as parts to a retaining wall up a hill instead of the thinner version.

Would be most useful in black and/or white.

If 30249 was one brick taller, it would match the slope on two of these combined with a 1x2x3 brick to fill the gap.

@MeisterDad:
They used them on the Minions plane, which looks like garbage from the back. There’s a City set with a similar plane that probably looks the same from the back, but with an extra vertical stabilizer (not sure I’ve seen any commercial jet with such a design). They need to be at least twice as long to work for an airliner’s tail.

This looks like it works better for buildings than aircraft, see 43197 and 60349. I don't remember off the top of my head if 60 degree inverted slopes exist for this to be a POOP, but for those who don't want to go out of their way to fiddle with advanced techniques and geometry it seems promising.

Oh noooo! These gaps! Look at Uglycopter 60343

@LegoSonicBoy:
It extends two studs over a height of three bricks. A stack of 45° inverted slopes would stick out one additional stud. The other 3-brick inverted slopes only extend one stud, so this is a unique angle for inverse slopes. As I determined previously, it also seems to be unique compared to regular slopes as well. Why they even made it I can’t even begin to guess.

What?

More and more it seems like the part budget for themes is getting too lenient.

Did mocking the "Roof" part of this name become passé with the other slope brick we had this week? Because... at least that one matched a normal roof's orientation: make a roof out of these and you're either making the world's least effective roof (though I've seen actual roofs that bad!) or you're doing some SNOT-work.

@Formendacil:
Or you’re making the rafters under an overhanging roof.
