If I get some time I will try and LDraw a section. It is pretty simple and the
hardest things to get are the 4 inside corner slopes and 8 outside corner
slopes. Actually the outside corners arn't that hard anymore but I think the
X-Wing is still the only set with gray inside corners (2). The rest is
standard slopes 2xX and 1xX gray brick and a few 1x2 technic beams and pins for
connecting sections. So far we have designed 3 sections other than the gate
itself. They are the straight sections (Based on a 16x32 baseplate), a corner
section (Based on a 16x16 baseplate), and a corner section with tower (Based on
a 16x16 baseplate).
Anyway when I get a chance I will try and LDraw them.
By the way I think these would be a formidable obstacle for our medieval
Brikwars game.

Actually that is Chris Phillips' windmill. I was actually just kicking myself
for not getting a good picture of it. The next time I get down there I will
try and get a good picture of it.
