Overall Impression

If you're a "Trekkie" and you like origami, you will love this book. It contains diagrams for many of Starfleet's vehicles from the TV series and movies, as well as a good selection of other species' starships from the Star-Trek universe. The models are good representations, and interesting to fold. The diagram quality is generally good, although there are some un-landmarked folds and confusing references here and there, so I would not recommend the book to absolute beginners.

As these models are rather complex, and tend to get thick, the origami paper that comes with the book isn't really adequate, and thinner, stronger, and larger paper should be used.
