I have started a sort of build it yourself spaceship model library. My goal here was to put together a collection of spaceship parts that one could use to make their own ships.
The first layer is blank, then you have hull sections on the second layer, secondary components on the 3rd layer, the fourth layer has some smaller ships, and the 5th layer has small parts.
For this file I have focused on the cube as a base shape. For future editions I plan on using the Hexagon, and later rounded shapes.
This is a work in progress, and I hope to be adding updates as i have time. I haven’t done any texturing because I assumed that people would want to make their own color schemes.
If anyone would like to submit ideas for components I would be glad to try to add them, just get me your .blend or some concept art.
Been trying to get various versions of 2.57 [from Blender Org] working with the Shipyard Script and not succeeding fast! Will wait till a new working version appears. [At Least I now know how to use SVN now, if nothing else].
However about your question about concept ships you might want a little look see at:
