Traveller Deck Templates and ship art

Other than the 3 sample ships and two templates for Traveller ships is anyone aware of any other hull templates or art that could easily be incorporated into one of these deck plans. Traveller has always kept that sort of white background with low detail and I do see the other deck style I imagine I could leverage as long as I planned out ship dimensions and hull tonnage usage to be close.

There are lots of Traveller sites on the web. Some offer adventure modules, some provide actual sector or character generators, and others involve ready made maps. As far as ship designs, Robert Pierce made a wonderful book of Traveller geomorphs a few years ago which can be found here https://travellerrpgblog.blogspot.com/ Look for the Geomorph 2.0 link on the right panel of his page. He has also had other people contribute to a growing line of ship designs. The only problem I see with them is that he designed them in an autocad program and published them in a pdf format. Eric Smith took all Pierce's pdfs, as well as adding some of his own, and converted them to pngs here https://gurpsland.no-ip.org/geomorphs/ These have a transparent background so they can be mixed and matched in a favorite graphics program, such as GIMP, Affinity Designer, Photoshop or Paint.net, to form an endless array of starship or station layouts. Both Robert's and Eric's work are for non-commercial use, I believe.
Thank You Elfling, I will check those out. I been pursuing a few and try to collect things as I get ready to dive into this game.
The Grouper Class Free Trader on that first site made me LOL
Yeah, some of the designs are quite funny, but there are others which look pretty cool. If you go to Eric Smith's site, he has a video showing how he uses the geomorphs he's prepared with Paint.net. Personally I prefer GIMP but I suppose that whichever program you use is a matter of personal taste.
Frosty,
I have a few deck plans on the Citizens of the Imperium site. https://www.travellerrpg.com
