Hover cars for Colonial Marine recon

Hi guys, I was going to use one of these crappy Chinese cars that I bought to use as Post apoc battle cars as a burnt out wreck on the base of one of my Terminator Grav tanks, so I removed the wheels, but because it is very hollow it looked a bit silly side on, so while I was thinking of how to fill it in I thought "why not make it a hover car?" (see bottom picts) now I have found the perfect use for these crappy Chinese cars, remove the wheels and fill in the holes, the bottom plastic bit is boat/hull shaped and the wheel arches a pretty none existent, so its very convincing for this, the orange roofless one will be one of several Jeep size Military hover cars for a colonial Marine recon platoon, it is only early WIP and will get a lot more detail like weapons, roll bars, and jet engines, the red one will be a wreck, and as a wreck I'm not to worried about how it looks, so it will get some putty touch ups and added to the base, I get 12 0f these for $3 a a local Go lo, what do you think?

  1. If you put them on a short black pedestal they'll have the illusion of hovering. Should look neat.
