IT'sAWrap Hollywood is selling what could be described as Star Trek tat. There are some gems, but it's mostly the last dregs of memorabilia that can be sold.

All they did was glue two nacelles onto the phaser cannons on the rollbar. If I had to guess, I'd say that it was supposed to be a "prototype" for the Stargazer tabletop model in Picard's ready room.
Johnny: You're confusing the Connie with the turned nacelles with the bronze Connie that replaced the Stargazer model in the ready room in "The Battle" when TPTB wanted to use the movie Enterprise as the Stargazer to save money.

No, a Stargazer proto wouldn't be possible, as I'm pretty sure AMT wasn't cranking out the Reliant models until after TNG made Trek popular again. I'm willing to bet that the bronze ship was going to be set dressing on a DS9 or Voyager episode that featured a flag officer or ready room or Starfleet Command or something.

That Vor'cha doesn't look like it's the one from "Sons of Mogh," that one just had a single big crater in the hull. My guess is it's either from "Way of the Warrior" or "Tears of the Prophets" � probably the latter, 'cause that's when all the Klingon ships got torn to shreds by the Jem'Hadar kamikaze runs.

Pretty sure everything was CGI by that point, though... WotW sounds like the best bet, since the DS9 Companion book establishes most of the ships in that battle to be practical models - and that the model builders really loved building all those models, only to blow them up with pyrotechnics.

Wow - I'm surprised they painted the damn thing GREEN from the original orange! They should have been able to simply tint the original's color in post production, no?

Cool- the Miradorn model has four 1:2500th scale TOS Enterprise nacelle caps on it as greebles.

Another interesting item, the LCARS display showing a cutaway of a starbase. Unfortunately the picture's pretty small, so it was easier to make out in the episode. Hopefully whoever's buying it is a starship freak.

Looks like an Ambassador Class deflector on there too.
