Hello everybody:

I was planning on building the Golden Hall of Rohan and I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion as to what I could build the roof with. Thanks!(I am sorry if I did the link wrong)

I recommend this thread to get an incredibly nice inspiration to build Meduseld.

That's a pretty nice miniature you're using for reference. I'd use it too if I were to build Meduseld one day so thanks for posting.

It's the one I used. I agree, good source material.

Well, in the way of suggestions, I'd say to make the thing modular, if it's possible - makes the building process easier, when you're working on smaller sections rather than an entire Golden Hall. Also, it makes adding an interior easier. As for the roof, nothing works better than plates - lots of area covered, relatively little brick support needed. Hollowness uses less bricks, too.

The actual hall in the movie was a thatch roof, wasn't it? If so you could probably get away with using a mix of Tan plates for the roof with 1x2 2x2 and slotted tan tiles for the thatch texture. Something along the lines of the Mill Village Attack roof's but on a grander scale.
