Is there any particular reason you need to model the ships themselves? Cant't you make the large bitmaps from the pictures in that link I gave you? You do have the same Poseidon, Nova and Hyperion as they do.
The only portraits I see giving somewhat dificulty are the minis because they are overhead shots, but I can take overhead pictures of the Armada models and convert them to bmp. Unless you specifically need or want to make the models. It could save you a lot of grief just using the pictures in the link and I can provide the overheads, just a thought.
