Would it be practical to have a detail casting of a wooden crate plus its contents, cast in two parts: 1) the crate bottom molded with the contents sitting on it and 2) the 4 sides and top of the crate, cast as a hollow shell to fit over the contents. The top could then be cast with one or more broken slats or other open gaps, permitting the contents to show through. This might be too small for HO scale but if the crate were to contain large parts (e.g. a new drill press being shipped somewhere) that might make an interesting eye-catcher.
The detail parts in HO will for the most part be from the same collection. There will be some new pieces offered eventually. Interesting idea for the crates... gotta think about that one.
