I found this thread by via the
post on The Brothers Brick and wanted to add my experiences to the discussion.
I live near San Francisco CA, and went to BrickFair in Washington DC and
BrickCon in Seattle WA this year. For both trips I took only a small set of
small MOCs in my carryon luggage, but I might try checking or shipping next
time. In any case, what I did was to take a small cardboard box and fill it
tightly with MOC’s, each MOC wrapped in bubble wrap. I removed some delicate
parts and either put them inside the MOC or put them into plastic baggies which
went into the box also.
Several of my MOCs had been rendered using LDRAW (MLCAD) and I brought those
files on my laptop computer with me on the trips. But it wasn’t necessary, as
for both trips all the MOCs survived with very little damage. The bubble wrap
really does the trick.
In between the two trips, my Lego Train Club (BayLTC) had a train show and I brought several of the same MOCs to that show.
By comparison, the cars and trucks that I usually bring to train shows were
badly damaged (as they usually are) by just being packed loose in boxes. I
think I’m going to start using bubble wrap for those as well, to reduce the
setup time for train shows.

I have found some helpful information by searching (...) (20 years ago, 4-Apr-05, to lugnet.storage, lugnet.events, FTX)
