i moved my entire card model collection about 320km to my present home 4 years ago.

Got 3 fairly well constructed cardboard/corrugated boxes, a couple of packages of 24x24" white tissue paper.

Crumple about 3-4 sheets of the tissue paper and place them at the bottom of the box, and start placing the models onto the top of the tissue paper. After you've filled it one model deep add the next layer of tissue paper. Repeat this until the box is full. Add a final sheet or two of the crumpled tissue paper and. seal the box with some kind of 2-3" wide tape.

The white tissue paper makes it easy to spot any parts that may have come loose. Make sure to take a repair kit with you, just in case.

I transported over 70 cared models this way and had 2 prop blades and 1 landing gear come loose. 3 minutes to fix.

Good luck and hope you show them how cool cardmodels are.
