I'm working on a WW1 series of aircraft and I'd like to know if anyone has 
come up with a method to use a cloth simulation to emulate something like 
shrinkwrap? The older planes were covered with a fabric and aircraft dope 
which would cause the cloth to tense up to the underlying structure (except 
where rosin/wax existed). It's not just wings, either, and includes concave 
as well as canvex requirements.

Any ideas on how to proceed would be appreciated (I'd hate to have to create 
a surface mesh, but I suppose I could). I'm using a mesh2 array of objects 
as the group to be covered (if that helps).

Sample to be posted in p.b.i.
