Update Jan. '22: New, more detailed and accurate model.
This is the Merced Class vessel USS Trieste NCC-37124. I built this after photos of the miniature where it is shown with other kitbashed ships (you can
see the photos here). One of the ships there (on the far left) is the USS Antares, the Miranda Class kitbash that Adam Buckner built for DS9. The miniature is labeled USS Trieste NCC-3724. So i assume it was intended to depict the USS Trieste NCC-37124 that was mentioned or appeared on displays many times through TNG and DS9, although the registry is missing a "1". Just recently,
more pictures of the actual model appeared that also show the underside and the marking there indeed says NCC-37124. For the first time we now can also see what parts are added to the bottom of the model. There is another pair of smaller Galaxy Class style warp nacelles and the guns from a German WWII 2cm Flakvierling!!! So i used this opportunity to update the model with more detailed parts according to the photos.
If you need this in another material, size, or quantity, send me a message. I will try to make it as you need. Be sure to read
