They screwed up and left George Takei's birthday off.
It's a bit NX-O1-heavy.

As expected, since Eden FX people are supposedly in charge of this one. Can you give us a quick list of the images in the calendar, s'il te plait?
Cover: refit E-nil and unnamed/unlabeled Excelsior class ship face off 3 K'Tinga class Battlecruisers. (Surprisingly, the E-nil's impulse engines aren't lit)
January: An NX class ship under construction at a drydock facility. The starboard nacelle is about to be attached as is the port nacelle pylon. The port nacelle is in the background arriving, yet it doesn't look like it's being towed anywhere. It's just floating there. Hull plating on parts of the saucer are missing as yard engineers are seen working on the ship.
February: refit E-nil and refit Lexington NCC-1709 are seen meeting each other in an asteroid field. Agian the E-nil's impulse engines are not lit.
March: E-nil and damaged unnamed/unlabeled pre-refit Connie class ship (presumably Constellation NCC-1017) attacking Doomsday Machine. Phaser beam coming from the Constellation.
April: Voyager and Delta Flyer next to the moon. Delta Flyer facing Voyager though. Voyager clearly a drawing as name is smeared next to forward docking port. The Flyer does appear to be CGI.
May: refit E-nil in V'Ger with the bridge to the actual Voyager 6 probe. CGI Kirk, Spock, Ilia probe, Decker, and McCoy on saucer. Good recreation of scene if not actual footage used in the movie.
June: Damaged Enterprise NX-01 in the Romulan minefield. The mines are visible as are the 2 Birds-of Prey. Not an actual scene from the episode.
Center: Close-up of three Starfleet personnel in spacesuits on the Enterprise NX-01 saucer near the deflector dish. Inspection pod with what appears to be Archer is nearby.
July: Voyager flying-by near the surface of a large body of water. Lightening streaks in background.
August: A shuttlepod approaching the Enterprise NX-01. Close-up of the underside of the Enterprise.
September: The Enterprise NCC-1701-E at Romulus. It's the Nemesis CGI model with the weapons additions. Not an actual scene from the movie.
October: Enterprise NX-01 faceoff with 2 Vulcan ships (I forget the class name) and 3 alien ships (I don't think we've seen these before, but I could be wrong) in orbit of unknown planet.
November: Enterprise NCC-1701-D and unknown/unlabeled Excelsior class ship flyby in Earth orbit. Double-mushroom type spacedock in near background. Mars also in background. The E-D is clearly a drawing as the registry number is off-center on the ventral side of the saucer. Also upon close inspection, an escape pod is also not drawn on.
December: E-nil meets the Botany Bay. Not a scene from the episode.

Nothing from DS9 - and more importantly, nothing "unseen". That is to say, nothing not including ships or CG models of the main ships in the franchise (like the shot of random BoPs, or a Miranda burning up in the atmosphere). It's that variation and expansion of the Trek universe that I buy these things for in the first place. Grumble.
I want Mojo back.

PS - The October shot sounds like one of the Andorian episodes from last year..?

Agreed - I want Mojo and his silky shirts back!
Mark can you let him know!?!
Can you also pass on the idea about him doing a wall poster i.e. a cool scene a la sotl - but bigger - more room to do stuff. Beauty shots everything - to put on the wall. There haven't been any Trek posters in over a decade!! (I'm not talking pull-outs people).
I'd buy it in ONE SECOND and it'd go STRAIGHT ON MY WALL!

That original CGI of the Doomsday Machine would almost make the whole calendar worth getting! Dang, that looks sweet!
True, the range and originality isn't what it used to be (dammit, we need Mojo back!), but the effects still look pretty darn good... at least in the thumbnails. I can still use some wall artwork... at least, to supplement the stuff I've already got, including a Starfleet Museum "original" poster...

I like this one a HELL of a lot better than the artsy shots of last years calander.
The E-nil with Botany Bay is my favorite because the E-nil actually has some subtle azec patterns!
Sweeet.
I really like the Enterprise E shot (as a modeler it's great refrence) but it's not very imaginative. I shot of her being towed back to spacedock with half a saucer by a new fed ship would have been more to my liking.

The calander's 20 plus inches across. My scanner (at work, no less) is not.
