Moving your models?

I bought a bunch of small cardboard boxes from Staples; they're about 10x4x4 when folded together (you buy them flat in a package). They close with a large flap and they're pretty sturdy. I then bought a lot of cheap toilet paper. Each of my "good" built-ups was wrapped in TP; first the long way (around the grille to taillights), then crossed or folded over and wrapped around the short way (driver to passenger). This was done in one continuous wrap with one length of TP. The wrapped model was then carefully slipped in a gallon size (I think) zip lock plastic bag. That bag with the wrapped model was then placed in one of the cardboard boxes; the box was closed and sealed with a strip of packaging tape and the contents of the box was written on the box. All of those boxes were placed in appropriately sized corrugated cardboard boxes from the U-Haul store.

All of the models that I packed in this manner survived a lengthy stay in a POD en route from LI to NC, being offloaded once, re-moved to a second rental house, then re-moved to our newly purchased house. I tried to handle those boxes myself as much as possible so that if something were to happen, I would have no one to blame but myself. If I remember correctly, there was minor damage to just two models. I was very happy with the results.
