The map name requires it to be an actual glass factory.
Therefore the final CP has to be a huge beer bottle that is also a rocket.

Only some kind of nerd would put a bomb over the final capture point.
(xzzy, how do we not have a good video of your explosion up yet?)
Just gave it a run around. Looks pretty interesting so far. I really like the displacements at mid point and look forward to seeing where this goes.
I never actually understood what that corrugated iron prop is that you have on point 2. It's awfully helpful for blocking sightlines and all, but what on earth is it? Oh, and that wood in screenshot 3 is a weird colour.
I resisted using them a few times on seconds new walls, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to use at least one over there. It just works too well. Hopefully the daylight will help.
And yeah I'll move that rock back. Definitely too far forward.

CRITICAL ERROR, sign of noob mapper:
SOLID_VPHYSICS static prop with no vphysics model! (models/props_foliage/tree_pine01.mdl)
Looks pretty good, there's some problems with the reflective floor in both of the bases where the reflections abruptly cut off. Pretty sure this is caused by misaligned lightmaps, something to double check down the road. The reflections look kind of bad anyways, maybe just pick a floor texture that doesn't shine.
I really don't like the cave that goes underground into the bases, it feels like too much of a run to do that little u-turn. Nothing wrong with it thematically, it just feels like an arbitrary mapper decision. I don't know how much leeway you have for adjusting that in terms of map balance but making it shorter would probably help.
CP 2 looks better with it centered on the control point.

Yeah I definitely plan on overhauling that tunnel. Plan on giving it the same treatment as the tunnels towards mid. I'll streamline them a bit when I do. I just haven't worked up the willpower to remake them yet.
And yeah that texture will get axed for B4.

The arrow over the tunnel in the second to last screenshot just doesn't make sense to me. I know blu team should go left, but still it looks wierd, as if they shouldn't enter the tunnel at all. Maybe put the sign somewhere else? maybe on the rocks above the tunnel or on the building behind it?
Another thing that looks wrong to me, is the texture on the blue building inside the quarry in the last screenshot: I think it should have some concrete on it instead of corragated metal.
Other than that, from what I can tell by the screenshots, it looks good. I hope I'll find some time to play it soon.

Blue definitely shouldn't enter the tunnel, as that tunnel leads back into their base.
It does look a bit weird but in terms of gameplay it's more or less correct.
