The long-forgotten Skimmer hovercraft

I made this using sheet styrene and rods.  It's a little smaller than a Savanah Master.

It's beautiful!  It always makes me terribly happy to see minis (both home-grown and new from IWM) from this era of BattleTech products.

Very cool, and excellent work! Did you use an IWM or DA infantryman for the driver?
