Nor was it :-)
The trip home to Brisbane to Sydney was also kind to the Snottler v3. The
bow module was reduced to clusters of bricks, and area from the bridge back
to the funnel had disintegrated, but the rest was more or less intact, and I
was able to reconstruct it in about half an hour to show to visiting
relatives and for some quick photos.
It had considerably less packing on the way home... I suspect the key is to
pack it firmly but not too tightly.
