so if you can imagine something along the lines of the control station for a small remote control surveillance aircraft, that would be what im talking about.
all i would really recommend is staying away from the ammo box idea. its just a box and nothing more. there has to be other interesting things out there. take my suggestion or leave it, and maybe take a look for some pictures of nifty military gadgets that you might be able to recreate.
