Tips on flying with a diorama?
Hi all! I am attending G-fest in Chicago next weekend and they are having a Kaiju model contest, so I will be flying with a diorama. This is my first time and I would love some tips on anyone who’s flown with a project like this in the past.
I am using green foam and pink board. My thought was to use dowels while I build and paint, then separate everything, bubble wrap, and pack it in a suitcase. Then pack my glue gun and glue it all down in the hotel the night I get there. But I’m so worried about the pink board snapping from being thrown around.
Could I bring the pink board as my person item and just hold it on my lap? I saw that typically you can do this with small artwork and canvases. My flight is under 2 hours so it would not be a huge imposition for me to hold it if it is allowed.
Any and all packing and traveling tips are greatly appreciated!!!
