Im shipping a diecast car model in a box bigger than the car. What would be a good padding or support so the model car will be secure?
Bubble wrap works wonders. It’s what I use, you can buy it anywhere and it’s cheap.

Can the rubber like things that holds the doors hood and trunk damage your diecast due to heat & humidity?
Sunday, September 28th, 2008I collect jadatoys 1:24 scale and i don’t remove them from their original packaging including plastics and elastic like things that hold the doors… can those be bad for my diecast?
As long as the packages are not subjected to temperature extremes they should be ok even when stored long term. I can’t speak for Jada toys specifically, but the diecasts I have sit around for extended periods of time and I’ve never noticed any trouble with them.
Good luck and hope this helps.
Does anyone who collects 1/18th diecast know if you can get replacement clear windows for the display boxes?
Sunday, September 28th, 2008I have heard you can get replacement plastic windows for the Mattel and Minichamp boxes when they become scratched or cracked. I have not been able to locate any.
You should probably just contact Mattel directly. they would probably just give some to you, as opposed to paying for them from a collector/distributor.
