Thanks for all your helpful replies. The model will be moved next week! I bought a great big cardboard box full of tiny polystyrene chips, just gonna rest it in those. 95 mile trip, but it will be on my front seat where I can keep my arm around it for comfort. Yes I know those little chips will stick all over it as if they were magnitized, but I can live with that.... good excuse for giving it a dusting. Cheers
