Sounds like a good idea to me. Keeping the humidity low and temperature variations to minimum should also help.
Unspoken expectations are premeditated failures.

I bought long plastic tube boxes of sizes 2.2 inches x 2.5 inches x 9 inches. They have 6 inch and 12 inch long as well. Clear-bags website carries the clear plastic boxes. I love these, because you can fit individual engines or cars in them and protect them. I think they cost about .75 cents each. Not a bad investment to protect engines and fragile cars.
