As far as attachments and base/saftey, Rule R12 is pretty unambiguous.  Everything has to be in base.  No idea what the penalty for that would be, probably a black brick in an inconvenient place, but I would encourage your team to see if they can redesign their attachments to stay inside the base volume.
