Well, what do you think of Silo (see the screenshot in my answer to Stephen, 
above)?  :-)
However, I think that the RL approach and the modelling approach are 
necessarily different. What no modeller like Wings or Silo can do (correct 
me if Blender is different from this) is to deform a mesh, keeping the same 
net surface area. You always scale the mesh one way or another by bending, 
translating, or rotating vertexes, edges or whole surfaces. In RL this only 
happens with really stretch-prone materials like spandex.

Ah yes, magnets. Still have to learn to use those. Thanks for reminding me 
Janet!

Another tool I have yet to learn to use!!

You really like to rub in the salt, don't you?  :-)
