I am actually working on some custom fleets to Eclipse at the moment, but it shouldn't be too hard to convert homeworld models ti Ti. ( https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2071343/so-you-want-some-custom-ships )

If I undesrstood correctly there are 6 classes of ships in TI? The only one that would be harder to make would be the war sun, depending on if you use corvettes or frigates for the destroyer, and are happy with a heavy cruiser/battleship as a stand-in for the W-S.

Otherwise the W-S could be the normal TI sculpt, meaning: HWfighter:Fighter, HWFrigate:destroyer, HWdestroyer:cruiser, HWcarrier:carrier, HWHC/Battleship:drednought.

Unfortunatley, only 5 different lines could be made with this, as theres not enough races to go around.

My thoughts on that would be:

Flagship - Pride of Hiigara

Warsun - Battleship

Dreadnaught - Destroyer

Cruiser - Missle Frigget

Destroyer - Gunship

Carrier - Carrier

Fighter - Interceptor

Personally. I would use them not for a full conversion of the game, but specifically for the Ghosts of Creuss species, as their special rules fit somewhat themeatically with their wormhole creation ability and the Homeworld folding space ability.

Sounds resonable ? , wondering if not the gunship would look wonky as a destroyer though?

It might, the other option would be the Flak Frigget, though it might compete in size with the Missile/Ion Frigget and confuse things.

Well, theres always the possibility of adding the dreadnought (the one they found that is) as, well.. dreadnought and skip the corvette line entirely?

Use the Dreadnaught as the Warsun you mean? Yeah. That would work. Means more Battleships on the field too.

As a WS yeah, got that a little wrong. Only thing is that it looks a little out of place with the design, but should be doable. How big are the ships in TI per class?

Warsun tech is, lore wise, alien tech to every race but the one that made the ship design. It is also old tech that is rediscovered. So thematically it works great.

As for ship size. There would have to be some adjustments. It wouldnt be true scaling within the Homeworld scale. Similar to Armada's scaling, were it isnt all the same.

Well scaling to TIs original ships is the way to go then?

TI Unit - HW2 Unit - Model Size

Flagship - Pride of Hiigara - 2.5" tall

Warsun - Dreadnaught - 2.5" long

Dreadnaught - Battlecruiser - 2" long

Cruiser - Destroyer - 1 1/2" long

Carrier - Carrier 1 3/4" long

Destroyer - Flak Frigget - 1"

Fighter - Interceptor 5/8"

I think those sizes would probably be good.

The prospect of playing a protracted game of TI4 and using Armada rules with the ships in each fleet is a tantalising one.

The flak frigate might be the biggest problem here, it has very small pices that might not print, gonna need some editing for to work (and be recognisable) being only 2,54 cm long.
