Well, the check-who's-on page says his account still exists (username JFerio) and his last activity was at 9:42 PM EDT this evening, so I'm guessing the answer is yes. Whether the source files for those models still exist 12(!!) years later, and whether they can be exported to .obj or .stl if they do, are other matters entirely. :)

Worst came to worst, I expect Adam could re-create the ship as a new model based on the images - for a price, of course. I've been kicking around what UF ship to commission from him next, actually, and asking him for his take on the Wonder was one of the candidates. Others include a more fully realized image of Daggerdisc; a full rendering of the Salusian Barghest-class destroyer I BPGD'd a while back (of which only that one anonymous line drawing from Yamato exists); and asking him to just go nuts with an entirely original design for the Gamilon K'tayyl-class destroyer, which isn't based on anything from source fiction and has never really had a firm design in my head anyway.
