So I've recently gotten the triumvirate and while they are extremely beautiful models I can't help but notice Celestine looks like the most breakable mini I've had the displeasure of building. My gaming group generally rotates between our 3 houses so I'd love to be able to bring her along without risking horrific scroll and wing snapping. I have plenty of magnets but I'm not sure where I should magnetize and then what kind of case I should use to transport her so she fares the best. Thanks for the help guys!

I'd do some pluck or custom cut foam(meaning you cut it yourself), assuming you have a tray deep enough.

Can you get covers or anything for pluck foam? One problem I always have is that it's hard to get the exact depth you want so the model can tend to bounce around inside it.

Not sure how the back and flight standy paper is attached but you could potentially magnetize it.

the backpack wings for sure.

then make custom pluck foam, or otherwise magnetize the base and carry her in her own sheet metal box.

Build her a popemobile?

I'd design a base to reinforce her. Have something that you can pin her foot or something to for extra strength

If it looks good with you, maybe put a paper clip into her foot or something.

Most people don't care for the look, just putting it out there.

For the really "wings and whips and pointy bits" models I think sheet metal + magnets case is the best option, as long as you're not tossing it around and give her plenty of space she should be fine.

I have magnetized her backpack and put her extending foot on the top of a lantern pole from the cities of death bitz. she is now solid as a rock.
