That website's great.
It's also got the original model details for all of the ships.

I converted one of them by hand from the hexadecimal but it's a bit fiddley with internal triangles such as 'windows' and 'engines'.

Well, I wouldn't recommend it for fun.

The fer de lance, asp, mk iii and moray may yet all display as once intended (..by me at least, even if no one else out there).
