Well Ben, I don't have a simple solution for you.

I first built the ship in LDraw. I took screen captures of the different
views
of the ship from that program.

I placed the screen captures into Adobe Illustrator and traced over them to
get
my vector graphics. I had to color the ship and adjust the stroke weights
manually to get the look that I wanted.

I've been using Adobe Illustrator for years and I find creating tech
illustrations in this manner very tedious. The final result though makes it
worth it (in some cases).

I hope that helps,
Todd

Um, wow.  Well, regardless of how you do it they look outstanding!
