One way to make counting the days going by a big more fun is to do it with a Star Trek calendar. In 2012 there will again be two choices: an original series calendar, and a "Ships of the Line" calendar. Today TrekMovie has exclusive previews for both.
Ships of the Line 2012 Preview
The 2012 Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar is also a big fan favorite. As with each year, the calendar includes brand new artwork featuring Star Trek ships. The 2012 calendar kicks off with a cover featuring reflecting USS Enterprises, a CG reinvention of a classic painting by Andrew Probert.

The calendar itself includes some interesting firsts, such as June’s "Ambassador Class Sea Trials." The artwork done by Tobias Richter, in conjunction with Andrew Probert, has the first fully realized version of the Ambassador class.
