It reminds me of those swimming pool "Noodles", made of flexible plastic - and there's bona-fide packing material made of the same stuff, which I think is polyurethane foam.
Speaking of which, the ideal thing would be spray-cans of that stuff, like the builders' material, but curing soft, instead of so stiff - you could inject it sparingly into plastic bags around the model, and it would expand to a form-fitting cushion. This is exactly what really professional/high tech packers do. But again, I've only ever seen it with pretty stiff foam - nothing soft enough for what we're talking about.
Because you wouldn't want to do any kind of packing forcing the buyer to bust the model just to get it out! 
Thanks for the input and let me know when you're getting ready to resume submissions on your Boston progress, buddy!
Cheers,
