However, I then took your pic and brightened it while reducing the contrast. Upon doing so, it becomes clear that the vessel has a dark gray stripe around the deck(s) housing the forward torpedo launcher, and if you look closely there's also dark gray along the rim of the connecting dorsal's rear face . . . as if to imply that the rear face is also gray.
I believe this means that this is the "War Galaxy" or "Cobra Galaxy" model, as often seen in shots around Starbase 375.
The ventral saucer paneling also supports this conclusion.

That's only because you're not having it. I'm not saying it's not nice, but there are times when all you want is a nice cup of tea.

Wait...I thought the "War/Cobra Galaxys" *were* CGI. Wasn't the explanation for the dark neck that it was a CGI compositing error?

Her boyfriend was a sissy. If she wears me out (the 22 year old sister, mind you- no jailtime for me, thanks) I'll buy you a beer.

Trying to live up to impossible standards is what keeps us going, so I shall continue to try (and fail) to be sexier than Aban.

A hot cup of tea can actually be quite refreshing when the temperature is high outside. Scientific research done by Dr Super Dude has proven that it actually helps cool you down more than, say, Fanta with ice in it.

When it's in the mid-ninties, a hot cup of tea would probably seem room tempature or "slightly warm". People sometimes get ill from drinking really cold stuff on a very hot day: an ex of mine threw up once from that when we were at an airshow.
Of course, it could have been that it was her fourth margharita, but I like my theory better.

Nonsense! I have a question that will drag this here thread kicking and screaming back onto topic:
Where does this name "USS Trincolo" come from? Is it something Okuda mentioned, a studio model pic or is it just fan speculation?
It's kinda odd that a minor character from The Tempest should warrant a Galaxy class starship name.

The U.S.S. Trinculo NCC-71867 was the last known labeling of the four-foot physical Galaxy model, seen at exhibitions featuring the model. For a long time it has been debated whether it ever appeared on screen or if it was simply labeled like that for the exhibitions. There is no conclusive evidence either way.
