justin2020 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 It is time for my family to move. This is were all of you come in. I have three cases full of built models that I need to pack up so we can show the house. Any tips on how to pack them up. Last time I did this 5 out of 8 did not make it without some type of damage. Any tips or pointers would be great. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf15 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Wrap them individually in toilet paper , then repeat the process with bubble wrap . Don't be stingy with the toilet paper either ! It will help hold the small parts in place , cushion the build , and prevent break off . The bubble wrap will allow you to stack them on top of each other and prevent them from moving around .

Fat Brian Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Then put the above described wrapped model in a 1 gallon zipper bag, that way if anything does get loose it will stay with the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Wrapping a model with T.P. works ! I wrapped some models like that back in the early 70's and they survived more than 30 years . When I opened the boxes for the first time about 5 years ago , they were all intact , with just a mirror or tire fallen off ! They moved with me dozens of times , including two trips overseas , compliments of Uncle Sam . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
