[WWI] Shipping OT models

Hi Tim!

And there's a section of this long article describing how old wooden models were sent by mail, and still are well preserved in their packing cases. It may cost a few $$$$$$$$$$ to send the models like that, but sure they may arrive safely.

  I am having trouble with shipping OT models.  I build kits for a buyer in Hawaii and several kits I have mailed have been destroyed in transit.  I have tried building jigs from cardboard, foam packing, and boxing within a larger box. Most arrive intact but it seems the larger kits are not making it.  What are some successful methods / materials that I might try.  Weight and size are big issue due to the location being overseas.                                                                 Thanks for all your advice,   Tim
