Note that you will probably need to de-greeble your models first. Small parts that fall off are annoying, and there's few things worse than finding a sea of small parts in the bottom of your shipping box. A collection of photos designed to help with reassembly is likely to be helpful, and will be essential if you want to accept offers of help with the ...

When I was a child and our family moved, I took apart the larger sets into easily manageable pieces. For example, taking off wings and antennas of starships. Then I tetrised all the pieces into shoe boxes and other closable, stackable containers that could then be transported by almost any means. This method required reassembly at the destination but thanks ...

We moved the Death Star into our office by hand. When we needed to move it to another place, we use a plastic bag to wrap it up and put it in the backseat of the car, so that even if little parts fell off, we could still find it in the bag, instead of trying to find it in the car.

As @Mołot commented, first ask the contest committee whether they have specific rules. In general though, shipping in chunks is common, ideally few pieces that are simple and straightforward to attach. Rigid, sturdy builds are obviously going to stand up better to the travails of shipping, so try to avoid spindly construction. Follow good mechanical ...

A couple of suggestions: Put them in plastic bins/bags or some other type of container, so that any pieces that come off will not be lost separate models if you can; having pieces from different models mixed together will make them harder to repair remove sections beforehand that are likely to fall off; put them in separate containers/bags label all ...

The two solutions I've seen are to measure the size you want and visit places that sell a variety of storage bins so you can find one the right size. In Australia we have a variety of bins about the size of a milk crate or beer crate (about 12" by 9", from back in the day when those units were relevant). The modern plastic equivalents with solid walls and ...
