    Default Terminus Transportation

    I wasn't sure where to post this, because, technically it has nothing to do with modeling, but since it has to do with the model and not the game, I posted it here.

    I had a problem, for a very long time, as to "how do I transport this fatty?", and it occurred to me at work last week that he would fit wonderfully in a ziplock container. I bought the off brand, but it's the same thing. Ziploc Twist n Lock Container size M Round. I got it home, sure enough it fit perfectly, now to pad it, I thought about using foam bits from pluck foam trays, but that did not work out so well, So I was on the the next idea, and being that my friends/family is largely into sewing, I remembered "that stuff that goes in teddy bears and pillows" and after about 5 minutes I had the perfect terminus transport. Not to big, and has enough support with the poly-fill that it won't break him because it is too stiff, but it won't break when it crashes into something - i personally let my dog play with it for a while, it was unbroken after words (don't try it, i'm not going to listen to how it didn't work for you). :]

    thats a wicked idea, and i think perfect for moving your larger models

    There's something wrong with me chemically
    Something wrong with me inherently
    The wrong mix in the wrong genes
    I reached the wrong ends.

    It's cheap and very effective, I figured I'd let people know it works. :O

    I had a buddy a while back who packed his models in cotton just like that. Except once he got them painted, he stopped, because he said the cotton was rubbing the paint of his metal minis. I remember his big Bretonnian Hippogryph got wrecked by some cotton balls. I dont know how cotton works v. gloss coats, but I'd test that out first.

    I understand a cotton ball, thats the same problem i had with using foam things from pluck trays, they were not stationary, they moved, and ended up breaking the model. Using a single, large piece of foam won't give you that problem i made the piece this enough it wont budge and tall enough to fill the entire case.
