I tried to recreate the tudor style angled tiles, but these need to be secured
on the other side. I can´t come up with a satisfying solution and without it
they would just fall out. The Tudor Corner modular just makes the walls 3 studs
wide.
Thanks for any advice

Hi,

I used this for the bigger version, with 75° slopes: (see pic).

Like LEGO, I used a blocker for the bottom, making the wall 3-studs thick.
But I found a build that worked for the top… but that’s still ugly, unless you
can hide it as some kind of furniture.  (I didn’t need to, that house has no
interior decor.)

Hmm, there isn’t as much wiggle room with these small slopes to build something
in-system.
I think the only solution is to use more forgiving connectors, like bar/clip
(see pic).

Honestly, putting some kind of furniture in front of the wall would be less ugly.

Found this: (see pic).

Tested IRL: I don’t feel any stress on the build.

Oh, and it’s
 
Part No: 79194  Name: Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Bar Handle on Long Stem
* 
79194 Plate, Round 1 x 1 with Bar Handle on Long Stem
Parts: Plate, Round
the short stem can’t rotate in a clip and screws up the distances.

Now, you still need to hide it or find a way to integrate it….

A bit simpler, a bit lower…
but you need to use a tile because it’s a bit lower and it’ll collide (red arrow).
I’m not sure the tile is not actually slightly turned to fit… but it does fit.

Good news is you can also use a 2x2 corner tile, so that reduces again what you
need to hide.
