With the way you packaged the models do you think they would survive being shipped? I want to give some as gifts but worried about how easy they are to damage.
No, I would not ship them the way that I packed them. Package delivery services are brutal. I knew that I would be the one to transport them to their new home. Luckily it wasn't a long drive. The few times I have shipped models through the mail, they were twist tied to cardboard sheets with supports depending on the model. I wanted to keep the model from moving around as much as possible.
