Well, it was broken down into ten component modules and a bag of detail

opened my bag in Brisbane, three modules were intact (although many gaps had
opened up between bricks), four others were recognisable but missing large
chunks. The remaining three had been reduced to small clusters of bricks...

I spent two hours last night piecing the modules back together... it looks
pretty much like it did before I packed it: but there are about 40 pieces
left over... I suspect the internal structure isn't what it once was.

Hopefully the trip from Brisbane to Indooroopilly won't be quite so damaging.

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.

Cheers
