True, very, very true. However, that "early warp ship" model was also designed by Jein in the first place specifically to represent Cochrane's first warpship. Except...that got changed by STFC. And that cigar-shaped ship with the wings on the fins, don't even get me started about that...

Actually... the Daedalus model appeared at one point as a model in Captain Sisko's office on DS9 (see "The Art of Star Trek" by the Reeves-Stevens', page 6). So unless it was a fictitious vessel as decoration, which to me seems unlikely, that's your evidence of it existing right there.

Yes, we know. And at one point, there was a model of a movie-Constitution class ship with it's nacelles on backwards in someone's quarters. Are we going to insist that exists now?
And, to extend it, I have an Optimus Prime figure on a shelf in my room, because I am cool. Is that proof that there's a truck (or fine engine, in this case) out there that transforms into a giant robot?

At work, a lot of people have pictures and models at their desks of aircraft *concepts* that never made it to production or even prototype. Considering Sisko was on the design side of things for a while, it could be a model of another concept, or maybe a preproduction version of the Daedalus.

I'd say that just proves people in the 24th century also don't read the instructions with their model kits.

A VERY good point considering the Connie Refit I saw on Ebay painted in red white and blue. (uncontrollable shudder)

As in patriotically, or just badly? Or both?
They really didn't have too much luck with the refit-Connie models. The one in "The Neutral Zone" had backwards engines, and the one in "Booby Trap" had engines that were horizontal rather than vertical. Did NONE of those people ever watch the movies?

To quote Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes): "Do I LOOK like a sissy?" - when Hobbes asks him if he's going to use the instructions that came with his F-4 Phantom model kit.

^^^ Yes, and later that same week Calvin started complaining about how stupid the model was because it was breaking apart and impossible to paint.
Of course, he also considered building one of those sailing ships with the rigging and canvas for his second model, so I don't think he learned his lesson.
