In preparation for the upcoming HOB event, I am becoming more and more concerned
with how to transport my MOCs safely either as checked airline baggage or by
over-nighting via a shipping company. I have found some helpful information by
searching around LUGNET, but was hoping to consolidate it all into one post for
future reference. Would those who have experience in this area mind posting
their experiences so that I can avoid my past mistakes?
My first lesson is that each component or MOC should be individually bagged so
that if the outer carton is compromised, the bricks will remain inside the box.
It is also easier to reconstruct an assembly when the parts are prevented from
commingling with those from other assemblies.
