It's a mixed bag, as it usually is. The ship on August's page looks like it was inspired by one of the Voyager concept drawings.
Andy Probert's image is my favourite from the ones posted, though I'm not fond of the design of the ship. It's nice to see the Type-7 in use how they were intended and I like that he included a figure wearing the flight suit from "Drive".
The image of the warp test is a cool idea, but I wouldn't want it up on my wall for a month (not that I put these up on my wall anyway).

Aha! That's Clawhammer's ship! It's supposed to be a quantum slipstream testbed.

I like that August ship, it's nice and compact but looks a bit bigger than a runabout, and it's not a big box. Shik, did Clawhammer post any more pics of this anywhere?
Did you notice that Koji put the "D-4" that he modeled from Eaves' concept sketch for the 3 ships in the Kobayashi Maru pic?

No, he sneaked a few extrrme closeups of sections before texturing & some very rough shape outlines over at SCN long ago. The Dutchman has a good head for security.

That Probert design looks spiffy- sorta fighter-ish.

Look very closely at the windows in the warp test pic. Who do you see?

It's an utterly stupid detail. Even ignoring the fact that it doesn't look like someone looking in through a window, but instead like a poster on the wall, why would they be there watching a warp test simulation? When is this supposed to be? By the time they were both together, and in those uniforms, their ship was twenty years old. I think they could safely assume the warp engines worked by that time. . . And even if it was a test of a new field geometry, and while it's not beyond the bounds of possibility, it seems silly to do such a test with a scale model. In TNG they fiddled with the warp geometry on a daily basis, for instance. No, this is just an example of someone trying too hard.
