NOVA and army transport
« on: August 14, 2012, 03:21:46 PM »
So I know a few people here are going to NOVA, and my question is - how the heck should I transport my display board?

I'm taking the train, so my plan on the army was to just put the foam in a standard suitcase, but I'm a little wary on transporting the display board.  Worse comes to worse I just carry it as is, and lean it against my chair...

How big is the display board is it modular? Is it foam?  Is it wood?  is it bendable?  Does it have tiny parts?  How fragile is it?  Can it fit in your suitcase?
