I honestly realy don't like them JUST my opinion But The 4th one down seems nice Instead of a Squarish Front Try to use Triangular?

For the most part they are either too blocky or too random. The third to last is at least not a block, and the last shows a fair amount of potential to be developed. Personally I'd forget about the rest and focus on making that one awesome cuz it could be made to fit in with the stock fleet quite nicely. I'd narrow the middle slightly though.

your designs are actually kind of interesting from the "ppc" down, however your coloring isn't, too much saturation on the dark blue (thats what kills it for me). Also watch out for depthing issues (not literally depthing section over section, but the idea that sections that are meant to appear lower are darker in color).

It's easiest to mod the preset colours before you start building, ie. a set of greys in ascending brightness, a couple of blues. I can't remember who said it, but using a colour wheel also will help in choosing a colour scheme. The SRSF seems to have a small mirroring flaw, some sections just don't mirror well unfortunately. If I'm unsure I use the x,y coords in the edit tab to doublecheck.

Australians, I don't know. Guess it comes from being upside down all the time :P
Going down the SWA route is fine, but to be honest you'll get better results from shn type sections. If anything, they're easier to use than stock because of the shading already on them. Just remember to turn down the colour saturation or they'll look like plastic instead of metal. Hmmm, plastic spaceships...
