Transportation

[Grizzix]

My wife and i are closing on our house at the end of the month and we have been pack, pack, packing away and it suddenly dawns on me that i have to move my minis. they have never been moved before and i think theyre a bit saddened and scared can anyone give me some tips on short distance movement of minis. ill only be going about 10 or 15 miles so i dont want to get an \"army transport\" bag or anything like that. any and all help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

When I moved recently I just wrapped each mini in a bit of soft toilet tissue, then in a little bubble wrap, before popping them into various boxes. Everything made it to the new place in one piece!

well never had to trie but i guess that buting bublle wrap paper at the botome of the box, and then inserting the mins in layers between sheet of wrap paper should do it . ( hop you understand the explaination ) Good luck

Sturmhalo\'s method is a good one I succesfully transported my collection from Hull to Melton Mowbray when I moved nothing got broke and thats a journey of about eighty miles or so.

thanks guys. i just need to get some bubble wrap. i doubt its hard to find. wish me(and my minis) luck

Bubble wrap over here can be got from most office suppliers or stationers or even Wilkinsons.I don\'t know what the American equivalent is but I am sure you should be able to get it ok. Do you have Office World over there?

 

[Grizzix]

we have office max and office depot also the post office would most likely carry it

Bubble wrap\'s easy to find! It\'s all over the place.

That is the only method I have found to be 100% successful to date.

Ever thought of unpacking your furniture? :d

Seriously, I have no idea where to get bubble wrap. I use the toilet paper approach, or the \"Fill a container with blister foam and let god sort em out\" approach. Works fine.

Really?

Any stationers of office supply shop should have it. I throw tons of the stuff away because everything I buy seems to come wrapped in it...

I never throw it away it\'s the best stress relief I can get at work. Roll it into a tube shape and then Twist it very hard. Done right it sounds like a set of firecrackers and annoy\'s the C**p out of people .

Then when there\'s no bubbles left I dispose of it. \'Cos the temptation to use it to Smother somebody might come back...............

 

[finn17]

If that\'s your idea of fun at work.....

I am surprised that you have remained un-smothered yourself:innocent:
