Safe keeping/transporting built models?

What's the best way to keep/move built plastic models?
It's so fragile thing, I'm thinking about buying display case and secure model with wire inside it.
Any another ideas?

I would think wrapping semi-loosely in tissue paper is the bets way to transport them.

I just keep them lying around so far. I'll get a display case eventually.

Ive seen alot of car modellers at shows employing the same method aircraft modellers use. This is to have a box with a flat slab of polystyrene at the bottom which the model sits on, then cocktail sticks are pinned in around the model to prevent movement.
