Model Travel Case
Inspired by some of the transport boxes I've seen from other SMM members, I tried out my own.  The foam was originally used to cushion industrial parts.  I used the hot knife to cut out holes or gouge out hollows to fit three models.  I glued all of the layers of foam together except for the middle two so that the models can be easily removed.  I'm going to bring this to a show-and-tell with Ray.

Excellent. How dense is the foam in comparison to a sponge?

Thank you for the comments. The foam is pretty firm. Each sheet is about 3/8 inch thick, and if you squeeze it with your fingers, it only goes down to about 1/4 inch.

Thanks Garet. My packing materiel is very close to an ordinary spong.
