I've converted a Matchbox hovercraft into a Ground Effect Ogre for my OGRE/GEV games:
I also have some preliminary rules for using this unit. See this post at Super Galactic Dreadnought: link Take a look and let me know what you think. |

Where'd you get those Delta IV SSBNs in the background? |

At Great Hall Games in Austin, where they're sold individually as game pieces in different colors of plastic. They also have tanks, rockets, and airplanes. Here's another pic, since you're interested:

Interesting! I have three of those same models on my workbench, but I have something else in store for them… |

Intriguing! Large slow moving GEVs are mentioned in the background, though the only vehicle officailly recognized id the Archangel Mobile Command Post. I can see this as a sort of littoral combat/ interdiction role variant :) |

DesertScrb, thanks – now I remember where I knew those from! They were playing pieces for an expansion for Supermacy. Tanks were also released (Abrams-ish), but I never saw rockets or airplanes. Someone else must be re-using the molds, as Supremacy Games went under a while ago. |

Source for the subs online. Have ordered from them before. Good service: link Rockets, tanks, and planes there too. |

Neat work on that ACV-Ogre. It does need some anti-infantry weapons though. I've got that same ACV toy, I was going to convert it to a brown water navy CP or spec-op transport, but if I find more I might follow your lead. |
