Summary

Publisher's description

Featuring fourteen never-before-seen pieces of original art, the Ships of the Line 2006 Calendar will be another big seller, as it has been for the past five years. Each month, this calendar features a spectacular, awe-inspiring image of one of the most fascinating parts of the Star Trek vision: the star ships. Created exclusively for this calendar by award-winning special effects masters, the images are presented in a unique horizontal format with an unobtrusive calendar grid. These images make up a truly unrivaled calendar that allows the artistry and originality of the art be the focal point.
