The n almost looks like a y in your 'vulcan' to me, it doesn't look like the other n's. The n in no and on stand out far better.

This week we've got Archer's model spaceship from Broken Bow. The odd thing is that one of these was in the Christie's auction and comparing the photos, they're virtually identical. The only difference I can see is that the one from the Christie's auction had a black window frame. Maybe it didn't sell and got passed onto It's A Wrap?
There's a MACO patch, which might be helpful reference for somebody.
An Andorian communicator. Pretty basic, kinda looks like a cross between a computer mouse and a telephone receiver. Maybe it is...
A Cardy shatter design LCARS panel. Not particularly remarkable, but maybe the sort of thing you'd nick from the set on the last day of filming.
Mayweather's bulletin board, for anyone who wondered what he did during all that time he wasn't involved in the exciting week-to-week activities. There's a star chart that's nigh impossible to make out and a CGI pic of a shuttlepod that's unfortunately covered up.
That's it really, aside from the usual array of PADDS and costumes.

Last week there wasn't much besides an Exocomp and a foam model of the Romulan Senate. This week, there's the giant Negh'Var model used in the MU battle with the Defiant.

Well I just read the caption for the item and it claims they used a 30-foot model in the MU scene, while this one's only seven foot. I'm not so sure about that. 30 feet is huge.. and there was definitely a fully detailed Negh'Var model, so why else would this one have been built?
I'm sure it actually is the model from the Defiant/MU Negh'Var battle, which only required an underside.
posted
There WERE dorsal shots of the Negh'Var at warp, but they could have easily used the existing model for that. The larger ventral shots would certainly have required the larger model for the additional detail. I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the DS9 Companion...
Starship debris which I think we saw twice, once as Neelix's debris field and another time in WotW as the Cardassian ships destroyed by the Klingon invasion. You can pick out a Connie/Miranda class nacelle and nacelle pylon, Galaxy neck and some bits that look Klingon.

You know that wreckage might have been on display at the Hayden Planetarium before its renovation, but I can't be sure.

Johnny, thanks for keeping tabs on this stuff for us.
Although I can see the obvious Reliant nacelle and pylon, and the Klingon wreckage, the fourth object looks nothing like a Galaxy class starship neck. Or am I not seeing it clearly?
I wonder...is this wreckage really from the scenes from Neelix's debris field and in WotW as the Cardassian ships destroyed by the Klingon invasion? If so, that's highly unusual wreckage, since it's Starfleet and Klingon. Perhaps this is actually from the unused Wolf 359 footage from "Emissary"?

No problem, I look at the auctions each week anyway, so I might as well post anything I spot that might interest people.
I couldn't figure it out right away when I read the caption, but the galaxy neck is upside down with some random brown objects stuck to it. You can see the windows and forward torpedo launcher in the fourth picture on the right hand side.
I wasn't totally sure about the appearances of the debris, but I checked and Ex Astris has pics. You can make out the nacelle in the top right hand corner, though I can't see any of the other bits from the auction pics. Maybe they were used in other battle scenes like you suggest?

The "debris" is also the USS Olympia from THe Sound of Her Voice- I just watched that episode last night and happened to freeze-frame that shot to see what was there.

Well, the nacelle, maybe. None of the other stuff was there. The half-destroyed saucer of the refit Enterprise from STIII was there, though, and at least one other bit of wreckage that doesn't seem to match anything in the ebay pics.
