    Suggestion on how to ship it: Go to a specialized cake store, you know, the ones that make cake for weddings, and ask them how do they ship their crazy cakes. From what i've seen they hire special services that keep the cake untouched while moving it long distances. If they can do it with cake, they will do it with the tower.

    To ship it, I'd recommend building the plywood box like you said, then put in a bunch of braces made of the foam you use in your projects. I think that would be more secure than packaging peanuts. Plus you can cut the foam to fit exactly where you want so you can avoid any delicate areas of the piece.

    Shipping thoughts: Build the base into a box. Since the center is held in place by a pole, as long as you brace one of the sturdier parts of the upper section, it should keep the fiddley bits from getting damaged. Good luck!

  • @jeancajeron8032
    @jeancajeron8032 Před rokem +357

    Ship it in 4 parts, the base and all 3 parts you made, all filled with packaging stuffing. You can even make a box for the base and use a fancy box for the miniatures with foam with holes carved to their shapes and sizes. Also, carving a negative form of the towers in foam to give more support during transport.

    A crate isn't a bad idea. Keep it vertical and add anchors between each layer that secures to the central pipe and the inside of the crate. Then fill it with packing peanuts. Make sure to label it so they keep it orientated correctly and don't try to set it down on its side. As long as you have it attached to a pallet, it should be safe. It is going to be a fairly pricey way to ship it, but this would be the safest way to ship it internationally.

      @MaethorDerien Před rokem +22

      I would like to add that you should add a tip and tell indicator on each side. The fact is that shipping companies typically don't give a shit about something that says fragile this side up. The second you add an indicator that shows if it got tipped though it becomes a different story.
      Sadly I am not sure if you can buy them in small batches locally. They typically only get sold in packs of 100. That said you could always just print a fake tip n tell label and slap it on the outside of the box even if it doesn't have one inside.

    • @pearce05
      @pearce05 Před rokem +6

      Adding on to these ideas, you could use your laser cutter to cut pieces of PE foam to fit around the less detailed sections. It'll be more expensive but will offer more stability, and the person you ship to won't have to deal with an avalanche of packing peanuts.
      I think 6-7 pieces of 5cm thick foam would be enough. Two for each of your sections and maybe one for the base where the rock tapers in. You could even cut them into hexagons and build a hexagonal crate around them. Make sure to cut them a hair larger than your crate and a hair smaller than your tower so they hold onto it well.

    Great project as always tanks I've watching your back catalog since I've found your channel thank to your colab with LTT.
    Now I've rarely comment but I've have actual experience shipping large fragile things so here are my suggestion:
    Option 1: If you can still separate the tower there is no need for a crate you can use cardboard boxes but you'll need to made a "small mod" cut the support pipe so the base can fit in a box that is not too tall and mostly empty, you can add threaded coupler and a connector for the LED Wires so it's easy to put it back together at the destination, now about prepping boxes for the individual parts, you'll need two boxes for each part for the inner box put a layer of hi density foam or Styrofoam of about 2cm lining all the walls of the box then get some instapack bags of the appropriate size to form a perfect support for the part, and that's your inner box for a short trip by truck on paved roads this would be enough, but if it need to be shipped by air o a long multi mode route, you want to add an outer box, this is much easier you need a box about 10 cm bigger in every dimension than the inner box so there is a 5 cm gap between the inner and outer box, now you just bubble graph the inner box with two layers (the big bubble kind) and fill the rest of the gap with packing peanuts.
    Option 2: Let say you can't separate the tower any more for this case you need a shipping pallet and a crate, you'll need to add temporary a larger base to the tower (a piece of plywood a about 10cm smaller the pallet in each dimension) with two objectives lower the center of mass of the pallet making it more stable and be able to screw together the tower and the pallet, now instapack if your best friend again for valuable and fragile things put a layer around the hole tower you'll need 3 or 4 sections for this get a cardboard box and remove the top and bottom and and do one layer at a time until you have the whole tower protected (you'll need to cut out this boxes to unpack), because cargo shipped in pallets need to be move with fork lift some time is expose to the elements you need to add a layer of film wrap (like those kiosk that wrap your suitcase at the airport) now the final step is to made a crate around the hole pallet and strap at lest in 3 point the tower already pack to the wood crate.
    Hope to be helpful and good luck.

    An idea for the shipping dilemma:
    Mount the base in the transport-box and take off the upermost part of the tower if possible. Then you could have a "plug" in the top part of your box, so the pipe is fixed in place once the box is closed. Now the only hazzle left is the top part, which could be shipped in a separate box filled with those packaging thingies.
    Best of luck :)

    They make a packing material that is basically expanding foam in a sealed bag. You break the vial inside to activate it, put it in the bottom of box and then quickly put the piece on top of it. The foam expands and contours perfectly around the item. You can then do another bag on top. Then it's just "rinse and repeat" for each section. Probably a good option for shipping such a delicate and fragile item.

    Concerning the shipping: when we ship fragile stuff at work (i.e. motors for machines) we build a frame inside a box and screw the thing to that frame so it is free hanging. As your base is wood, you could screw it to a base panel to secure it. I don't know how fragile the miniatures and pointy bits are. If you are afraid they might break when the box is vibrating in a truck, probably wrap the details in something soft (cotton balls, newspaper shreds, kitchenroll?) And then wrap the whole thing in cling film and build a box around that. Fill the box with packing peanuts. Write " this side up!" on every side and speak a quick prayer. Maybe, you can even remove the top third (if still possible) to access the pipe and secure that from the top down as well. Good luck with that. I'm holding all available thumbs for you.

    Shipping ideas: Instapacks sort of inflate around the shape of the object being packaged. Another option would be to use packaging peanuts or vermiculite to provide stability and cushioning around the object. Plenty of options.

    • @TheRealMcTrolls
      @TheRealMcTrolls Před rokem +3

      Came here to say the instapack idea. I would test it first to ensure that its not going to crush anything. The trees on the base will be problematic.

    • @humdinger5701
      @humdinger5701 Před rokem +10

      I was thinking instapacks as well. The only problem is sometimes they form in a way that they grab onto things you dont want them to grab onto. Also they can be expensive for something that size. Personally I would try to use bio-degradable packing peanuts. Dirt cheap, super easy to dispose of ( they disintegrate when exposed to water like "magic" ), anti-static, and entirely plant based so 100% earth safe.

    It might be better to carefully use foam beads and garbage bags to pack it in sort of a christmass tree form, then use spray foam to fill the outside of that. That way, even if the spray foam expands a bit during the shipping, the foam beads still give it the extra wiggle room to expand without damaging the important pieces. You could even jokingly package it as a gigantic dill-does-thingy (read the first two words aloud without a pause between them), but put that packaging INSIDE the packaging in which you're shipping it, so only when they open the box in their office, will they see the dill-does' box, which they have to open to get to the tower inside. :)) =]]

  • @FriendlyMarmot
    @FriendlyMarmot Před rokem +11

    Packing idea: First decide on a box for the tower, then make a rectangular, hollow-centered, reinforced insert whose edges fit just inside the box to hold the tower, which can slide into the box after the tower is placed inside it... but the goal will be to have the insert only touch the tower in maybe 3 key places. To do that, I'm thinking wrap a foam ring gently around 3 places in the middle of the tower which are smoother / less pokey. Then, suspend those rings in the center of the insert using something slightly stretchy. Maybe secure the very bottom and top of the tower somehow too, but in a way that can absorb shocks. I'm thinking this would be better than packing peanut foam because that might scrape the static grass etc. off it. And leave extra space between the pokey parts of the tower and the box, so that the tower can move around suspended in the middle, without hitting the sides of the box.

    • @asdassdgfdf7509

  • @beqlynd
    @beqlynd Před rokem

    This is amazing! and you've gotten so much faster at building and painting these amazing structures over the years.
    As for shipping, the box idea is good. Maybe try to separate the tower into pieces and lightly wrap them with bubble wrap? Some jostling is unavoidable in shipping, unfortunately... But that in addition to packing peanuts could reduce the chances of things breaking. Add an instruction sheet on how to reassemble the tower with pictures of how it looks completely put together?
    Whatever you end up doing, I hope it goes well! Let us know, and thank you for showing us how you made this!

    @zero0ryn Před rokem

    This is amazing :) There is so much detail in this that I think you can't pack it in anything that is going to touch it.
    I would suggest that you contruct a shipping crate and a support structure that interfaces into the ends of plastic pipe in the core of the tower and to the crate. I think the top comes off so use that to access the top of the tower's plastic core. Pack the top seperately. How closely is that pipe connecting to the other parts of the tower? Maybe in internal skeleton that holds the tower's parts to the core tubing. You need this to not come loose in shipping. I'd go with spokes connecting with something like a jubilee clip round the internal tubing. For the external support structure maybe think about how you see airfix parts in a plastic surround before you pop them out. (I know this is the low structure for the injection moulding process) It might be cheaper to rent a van and go on a road trip. It would make an awesome video too.
