Oh my, it just goes on and on - this is just spectacular Dave.
As a finishing touch Dave you could have the spotlight altimeter - - a clear slip of plastic with a couple of round stickers sat to the right side of the planes base as they run in on target !

It's dam fine.
Amazing as usual.
Wow!!!!!
Great indeed! May I post them on BGG, crediting them to you?
Absolutely and always, its all for the wonderful game you have blessed us with!
Excellent executed!
Voilà le soleil d'Austerlitz!
that looks amazing dave. i wish you could run a scenario using it at origins some day!!!
It’s just brilliant, I am so impressed, and jealous of your skills, and jealous of anyone who has the space to be able to produce and store something like this.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
Wow. Just wow. Dave, you never cease to amaze.
Incredible!
What more could anyone say?
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
Oh my goodness, this is just outstanding and an inspiration Dave!
I will be trying this Dave, working it onto clear acetate to add to the base as the bomber sets in for the bomb run, thanks!
And Bob, this video is on a permanent play around here, there is nothing like the sound of the 8 engines! Turn up the volume!!!!

This far exceeds my wildest imaginings Dobbs.
You have excelled again.

Simply amazing! That is pretty darn amazing!
Love it!
Wow, what an impressive set of terrain. Now you just have to turn off the lights And put 2 LEDs in each bomber
Don't tempt me! Over a 100 hours in it already, just got the gimbles on 7 of the bombers! Done Dam it! Now what . . .
Fish, you need fish in the water!
Fish is what's for dinner! How did you know?
Splashes for the bombs bouncing on the water. Now that is crazy.
wow! thats a whole lot of damn detail!
Tremendous work, Dave.
Could you post the size of your dam and the scale you have chosen ?
Do you play it with the official Ares Dambuster bombing rules and do you consider there is an altitude change for a AA gun settled on the down part of the river ?
The base is 4' x 6', the dam is 3' - 6" wide and is 8" tall on the down side and 1 1/2" high on the lake side. At 1/200" scale the dam was far too large to use so I have done some accommodations for practicality. Over the lake the bombers attack at an altitude of 3 small pegs. Once they cross the dam they are switched to 3 long pegs and 2 small ones, makes for a smooth transition. Hard banking turn and climb brings them to altitude to return to the lake side. AA guns on the towers have normal range limits and full arcs and decoy passes draw fire from attacking bombers, maybe . . . Have not played with any other AA locations yet. Official rules play well, I am playing with the range sight a bit and use the 3 peg altitude for the drop. It gets rather exciting during the bouncing stage as it is a long stretch over the terrain to move the bits! Not quite as simple as on the Ares micro mat! All is fun!!! My son is home from the NZ helping with the rules and action fun! - so expect some Flames of War & TANKS! influences . . .
In any case, the Möhne dam was 34 meters high and the Eder dam 42:

One height level in the game is 1.000 meters, so no influence on AA.
A tremendous piece of work, David!
