What program do you use to make this?

Just Illustrator for the most part.

Hello Bren.  Boy do I miss your amazing posts with the ship dimensions.

I gather from your previous posts, your not likely going to be posting newer ships that have been released.

If you do have a change of heart, could i suggest couple of designs such as the Tiamat-Class DropShip from TRO: 3085 Supplemental and the twin  Aesir/Vanir-Class Dropships? Their both very large, it would be neat to see them in your line up of ships.

Having the Dreadnought and now first generation House WarShips in your line up would neat as well like the Defender-Class Battlecruiser and the League-Class Destroyer from the Field Reports: 2765 PDF series.

Thank You Sir!

Looking at this scale just tells me something's broken with the 3057 warship art. Look at that Vincent. It looks like it's almost the same mass as the Essex if not more, making up in bulkiness what it didn't have in length.

Avenger and Intruder added.

The dimensions of the Intruder don't really match up with any version of the art - so I just adhered to the height and the other dimensions ended up being a bit smaller.

Looking at this scale just tells me something's broken with the 3057 warship art. Look at that Vincent. It looks like it's almost the same mass as the Essex if not more, making up in bulkiness what it didn't have in length.

Yeah the volume of the Vincent underwent the biggest change from the 2750 to 3057 art. Someday I'd like to do my own volume/dimensions 'audit' on all the ships and bring everything down quite a bit.

Thanks for the compliments all - with regards to ships not on the drawing board - as I said no plans but I sure like all those 'old', 'historic' ships. Someday maybe.

This is really great work, you are truly adding something to the hobby here.

I've been trying to reconcile the 3057 and 2750 art for years and these pics really help. At this stage; my headcanon is that I'm figuring a Clan-level refit (inc armour, harjel, LF batteries, ect) basically involved disassembling a warship to a greater or lesser extent and re-assembling the bits; often in new and different arrangements in order to work with the new modifications and additions.
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.

Cameron added.

Man ... that one kicked the crap out of me. Nothing I did looked right. I just couldn't come through with the Cameron - maybe I've been staring at it too long. Maybe a problem is with the overall design - and how the main novelty in the design isn't apparent from a straight side view?

I'll probably make edits to it to somewhat break up all the parallel tracks along the main body, but for now I just need to put it up and move on for a while. I think it'll take a better man than I to do that one justice.

Would anyone happen to have a physical copy of 'DropShips and JumpShips', or at least access to it?

With regards to the image of the Monolith JumpShip: like many others - it was interrupted by the centre fold/gutter. As a result I think there may be some confusion as to the exact look of the ship. I'm wondering if you could look at the image linked below and let me know which is closer to the actual illustration.

Looking at mine, I think I'd go with the lower one.  That makes it three sections with three docking collars vice two with four or five.

Traditionally, (as Sarna editor in semi-retirement) We go by what book goes.  later years there was movement to go with "Class" of dropships.   Leopard CV is its own ship, the CV is direct acronym used in US Navy as designation for a Aircraft Carrier.   

Leopard CV Class DropShip is essentially what it is.  Its  variant of the original Leopard, but its own design.  (No way I'd call it a variant..)
