max's uv mapping will map any thing no matter how complicated.
ya just ya got to learn how.

youtube max uv mapping or **max texturing.
**will help ya learn it.

a max forum could help ya more then I could also.
with the exact way max works.

max might work like this,i'm not sure how max works. 

the .jpg was made in 2002.
it would be a nightmare to map.there would be 18 different parts.
each part would have a lot of separated map parts.
it would not be a solid one peace mesh or map.

ya take something complicated and break it apart and map separate parts till it's simple.
