I've done a tad bit more work on the crate, as to give it the ability to open. The top plates are on the same plane as the surrounding case, whereas the side plates are inset, and both of the two sets remain attached to the interior structure of the crate when the two side casings are removed. The top and bottom plates support the whole unsheathed apparatus which houses multiple smaller crates holding live and loaded munitions, and are flush with the casing's top and bottom to allow easy and safe attachment and detachment, while the two side plates contain the electronic user interface and shipping data, and are inset to prevent most damage to the already-sturdy military-grade hardware. I still have to model the individual weapons crates (and the seven highly-original and fully-planned weapons that they will contain) and the interior containment structure for the crate, but that will come in due time. I haven't been working much structurally on the intended map of late, but that is just because everything is fully planned and is just a matter of finishing the tedious work of connecting the floors to the ceilings and whatnot.
I still am looking for someone who is willing to do basic skinning and HEK work for the map, and possibly help me with weapon tags - I have a crapload of questions, since I plan on removing standard grenades and replacing their role with each weapon's individual and unique secondary-fire mode, and need to know what I will and won't be able to implement.
So, here's the pictures - there's not really much to show right now, but once I start with the interior and individual weapons crates it will seem a bit more functional. I still need to get a basic concept for the clamp-lift (futuristic forklift) and a few other landmark scenery items intended for the map.
