I'm very new to 3d modeling, but the Amorphium 1.0 software I mentioned below may be what you want. It's freeware and came with the Aug 2001 issue of the UK magazine "Computer Arts."

In the US the magazine is sold in stores like Borders, Barnes & Noble, Comp USA, etc.

When you open it, the default workpiece is a sphere, and you can deform and shape and paint it all you want.

Playing around with it the other day made me think about using it to design shipsets.

But like I said, I really don't know much about this kind of thing...
