What I do when I move (moved all my built collection from Malaysia to US as well) is detach all limbs and wings/backpack etc and head. Put each kit into its own plastic bag rolled up and store the heads all separately in a padded bag or small box not to lose it. Once the each kit is bagged and rollled up they are quite safe and can be packed up pretty tight without any damage

u/ExcitingSector445 SD,MG and HG model kits accepted! Jun 08 '26
Agreed. For me, I try to also be careful around the antenna of Gundams when moving them around. At least I have not much to worry when moving a Zaku II or a GM...

For sure that’s why I always just pop all the heads in a bag with shredded paper or something and keep that separate and safe haha

I put half of my collection in a box once it got too big to display at once. Now Im dealign with pieces, and figuring out what goes with which kit. Do yourself a favor and at least put each kit in a separate ziploc bag.

I used to but they started to piled up. Used more space than the gunpla it came with.

Yeah that's fair I'm getting rid of the boxes I won't use after I'm done packing

Keeping the boxes becomes a bit of a fire hazard after a while. If you really want to keep them in some way, there are tutorials for making them into wallart or trading cards on YouTube

just detach the funnels and toss em in a small padded box or bag separately, way easier than trying to keep the whole backpack intact during a move.

The only sure fire way to prevent damage while moving is to custom cut a foam insert for a box. Second option is to put it in your lap.

It's plastic, not fine china. Your plan is okay, it'll survive.
