I have flown to fests twice, and had pretty good luck transporting MOCs
in checked baggage. Strangely, they don't consider a cardboard box
"adequete packing" so you may want to get a trunk or other piece of
"luggage". You may also want to make it easy on them if they have to
open your package.
Driving to fests, I have not taken much special care at all for packing.

I hope to be able to bring a moonbase module. I probably won't be
bringing all the train stuff I have brought to past fests.
