I just shipped a Woodland Scenics THE DEPOT(no factory box or base) to a fellow Forum member. If you are not familiar with this model its smoke stake has two guy wires, its semaphore is in the horizontal position and it has various detail parts including two free standing hand rails. My wife suggested a larger than normal plastic bag from a retail store. I put a few plastic peanuts in the bottom of the bag(setting on a flat surface) and placed The Depot on those. I then added enough plastic peanuts to cover the model and fill the space to the inside of the bag. I twisted the empty part of the bag and secured it with tape. I used a heavier than normal cardboard box which was designed to carry six 1 gallon jugs of water. I placed bubble wrap on the bottom, placed the bag with The Depot in the box and placed plastic peanuts in the empty space. Another layer of bubble wrap on top of the peanuts before I secured the lid of the box. It arrived via USPS in fine condition. John in Lansing, ILL
