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.

I seem to recall someone using expanding foam insulation to make custom foam
inserts.
Wrap the moc in plastic wrap and use low expanding insulation foam. Key word s
are “low exoanding”. the regular foam exerts a lot of pressure as it expands.
the low expanding foam is meant for around doors and windows. Its designed to
expand less so that the door/window odesn’t warp and jamb.
