Polyhedra Modeling Kits?

A bit of a repeat from the crystallography newsgroup:
As more "promising" methods are presently not out of the
dolmans, does anyone know of physical modelling kits
consisting of polyhedra (specifically silicate tetrahedra)
with attachable, flexible hinges on the corners that can
be used for modelling work? (Useful for looking at how the
tetrahedra/polyhedra interlink and can move)

Ball and stick molecular modeling kits abound around the
place but not polyhedral modeling kits? Would like to
hear otherwise before approaching the local workshop.

Thanks in advance,

Lachlan.
