Does somebody know the description of the new Main gate of Minas tirith. I heard it was made of Mithril and steel this time, but i need to know more then that. I would like to know its new structure in as much details as possible so I can make a image of the gate for my new web site. I've been searching all over the web to find a description of the new gate but i didnt find anything helpful for me. Maybe some wise tolkien fan could help me.

PS does somebody know where to find a movie-pic from the gate so I could see how they made the old gate in Jacksons movie. (this might help me imagen the structure of the new gate...)

All that the book say is that Gimli's folk "forged gates of mithril and steel to replace those broken by the Witch-king."

Atleast somebody replies something. Does anybody know anything else about the new gate of Minas Tirith. Or does anybody know where to find good clear images of the old gate or the new gate.
