modular star fort (trace italienne) walls?

There are already various kinds of modular walls available here on the LEX as well on the STEX (medieval walls, Asian-type walls, modern walls), but I was wondering if anyone would like to make modular star fort (trace-italienne) walls? Star fort fortifications were the norm in Europe from the Renaissance to the 19th century, and there are a lot of star fort fortifications outside Europe as well. For example, heblem from LBT BATted this star fort in Mexico: http://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=19966

Here's the link to Wikipedia about star fort fortifications: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_italienne

Obviously star fort fortifications are quite complicated, but I think a simplified version is certainly feasible. For example, here's a diagram of the historical center of my city, Manila (one of the places where star fort fortifications were built, by the Spanish):



If anyone would like to take this on, I'm willing to take close-up pictures of the walls in this diagram, if necessary. Thanks!
