Are you asking how to make the clouds look the same or how to make them look more unified?

I think maybe i didnt write down what im after properly or sumot but ...well
ive made the picture but as it was just a tester render i havnt saved any files or anything for it.
as i did it so easily i thought id be able to redo them but the last say 15 renders ive done are not turning out the way id like so ...if someone knows what clouds i used roughly what settings ..great lol

well genrally to make nice looking clouds you should play with the denicty and deth setting out side of that I can't help you getting back to that same type of quality.

Is this what you are after?

This is pretty much default settings.

I started a new scene then moved the camera to mostly look at sky.

Lowered the haze in the atmosphere a bit and added a low and medium cloud layer.

For the lower layer I lowered the coverage to -0.25 then selected the Density fractal and tried a couple of random seeds until I found something I liked.

I upped the samples on both layers a bit before the render.

Not exactly the same but has the 'Flavour' of the clouds in your image.  If it's any help the .tgd is here.
