I've watched The Bridges at Toko-Ri so many times while I was building this thing that I can just about hear that in my sleep. Would you believe I even read the book?
The book is an excellent read. It is SO cool that James Michener in is the movie too! The movie might have been 1954's "The Men of the Fighting Lady" oops!

I hadn't but that actually looks pretty cool! It's something that will have to wait a while though. I want to do the Saratoga and the Enterprise one right after the other and I'm also eyeing Atlantis's old USS Ticonderoga with the angled flight deck.
