Don't think there's any gallery featuring *all* suitably-sized 
commercially-available spaceship models, but Tom Granvold's web site 
(http://zappa.brainiac.com/spaceship/index.html) is the most complete I 
know of.

If you only want pics of the GZG models, there's www.geohex.com and 
http://www.gtns.net/gzg/

No *official* rules for them yet, no; you'll have to wait for FB3 for
that. 
Lots of house rules and designs (for all nations, not just the UN) 
scattered around the net though. The list I have is a bit dated and many
of 
the designs have since been uploaded to the FTSR, but hopefully at least

*some* of these links still work:

http://www.ftsr.org/ - with 525 FBx designs this is the largest 
concentration of designs on the 'net

And, of course, the UFTWWW page. A bit dated,  but still a good place to

I know I've forgotten and/or lost a bunch. But at least it's something
to 
get you started ;-)
