I think there's a plugin for Rhino that does curvature modeling. Not sure about Blender right now but last I checked some time ago, no.
Back when I was designing my own paper models, I purchased a little sheet metal design book from the '50s. It was just as effective as software and very fun to have around as a reference. Polygonal models can have a polygonal look that can get in the way of a really graceful appearance[1] on some model types.
