Tony I kept a few of the bins and some of the foam packing for the same purpose. Most of the rest of the bins and the poly fil went to our new neighbor who uses the stuff for her hobby, sewing. That poly fill stuff was a great idea and worked like a charm! Zero damage to my aircraft during the move. Thanks again!
Everything made it to Goodyear last Friday - super hot unloading but to be expected. I had to make one more trip to get my built models. Made it to San Diego and back today for the airlift - pretty pleased with the results, but will need to do more careful inspection under better light. And… I have to do it again in 6 months
I loaded the figures and car models in a box. It looks abusive but they travel pretty well like this.
And here is the airwing before making the 5 hour trip back to Goodyear
And after I pulled up to our apartment… the airbus decided to lose its wings…but I never glued them in. Pretty minor damage over all
There’s no light in the ‘office’ yet so I took a pic on the counter - getting everything indoors as quickly as possible. I’ll send an office pic tomorrow. Pretty good lighting in here
That’s the last of the move out of California… had a pretty good rant as I crossed the Colorado.
Time to wind down for a couple days.
Glad the move worked for you,that’s the way I moved my builds when I moved just to the next town,all laid out on the floor of a mini van I had then,worked well enough for a short move.
Glad you have that part of the move done. Nice that you had a manageable (5 hr) drive to move the important stuff in a dedicated transport op. [:)]
Hi!
Hey, Don’t forget the area around Camp Oauchuca as well, I.E. Sierra Vista, AZ,
Beautiful Country there and the former CEO of B.A.D. Shipmodels lives there! He likes to look at the sky at night too. Awesome Telescope behind his house in it’s own Building!
Congrats on your escape from the DPRC and welcome back to the USA. [;)] I think that youre gonna like it here in AZ. I sure do.
Your packing and travel method for the collection looks like it went well and with no major mishaps. That alone is a great reason to celebrate. Our hobby does have that hazard of things going the opposite way.
G’day John, moving is always a hassle, but as far as your models go it looks like it went well. I’ve told my wife that the next house I move into will be 6 foot long, 1 floor and no windows. [:D][:D] Back in the 60’s I had a penfriend in Arizona. Lived in Tempe. From what I’ve seen it looks like a wonderful state.
In the photos of your move I couldn’t help notice some figures in one of the boxes. Any chance you could post some pics of them when you’re setteled?
Cheers
Dodgy.
Hey John,
Moving models cross country is a MAJOR hassle. I lost most of builds [:'(]. I think about the only thing that survived was my Akagi (thank God) There’s a few boxes I’m a little hesitant to open still but really have nowhere to put them yet anyway. My MRAP survived as well BTW [:D]. The movers were not nice to me!
Good luck John.
Been in the new house for two weeks and ready to get back at it.
Set up the bench last night.
Shiny.
Wow! I don’t think my space ever looked that tidy.
Won’t be for long [:P]
Nice! No get to building something [;)]
and welcome to the neighborhood!
