Shipping a model is a pain but not stressful, MOST of the time. Word to the wise..... I made a mistake of putting a finished schooner model in the back seat of a car we had shipped from New Jersey to Florida when we moved south. Alas, the car arrived OK, but the model was gone. I filed a complaint and was told to read the contract more closely next time, they were not responsible for missing items not attached to the car. Lived and learned, the hard way that time.
Oh no! That's terrible. It kind of makes you wonder though, is that model sitting in someone's home or office and do they even realize that it was once stolen?
Hi gentlemen, interesting stories about moving and providing security for your models. Several years ago when I was building models commercial for a local ship yard they contracted me to deliver them to the customers in Montreal Quebec, and Dartmouth Nova Scotia. Each night during these journeys I would have to move the models into the hotel rooms with me just to make sure no one would take them. A lot of people would like to have our models, but have no interest in building their own. I was moving three of these pilot boats on that journey.
