1) Possibly a scout, but I also get "stealth hunter" out of it. Something small, deadly and probably either works as the spaceship equivalent of a sniper or comes in packs. Looks very cool to me and I don't notice anything too obviously "I am a car engine" about it.
2) My hours of playing EVE Online suggests to me this is a small scale independant mining vessel. The "gun" is actually an oversized asteroid mining laser, the grill on the front is some sort of "ram scoop" that captures, grinds and filters the smaller rock chunks for precious whatevers-valuable-in-your-asteroid. It does still have an unfortunate feel of "armoured car" about it to me, mostly because of the "windshield" and the large black shield on the front combined with "front mounted weaponry" = dystopian authoritarian government vehicle to me for some reason. I blame comic books (I bet it was 2000 AD/ Judge Dredd's fault!)
I totally would not have got that those were car seats if you hadn't said so, because they are so clearly exhaust ports.
3) "Earth Force" command ship. Almost screams "I am a huge, important military vessel" to me along with "I don't need the really big guns because that's your job". This one seems to be the most conventional of all 3 to me, and other than everything being different colours I wouldn't have thought it was bodged together from different kits at all.
TL;DR: They all look "spaceship-y" and cool to me and I don't notice anything that obviously seems like it's an improperly used part of a model kit. I'm a little bit in awe because if I tried this I'd just be left with a big pile of jumbled, half melted plastic and absolutely nothing that resembled a spaceship.
My story line (not that you need a story line, but I'm up early and have nothing else to do) is that some troublesome outlaw raiders (#1), have been preying on the mining ships (#2) of a small asteroid colony/ family owned company, but a call for help has put out and now the system defense force is on the scene! (#3)
