This reminds me of the mirror trick used in "Star Wars". In a couple of shots,
to make the landspeeder appear appear to hover a mirrored skirt was placed around
the supporting structure below the chassis, hiding the wheels and reflecting the
surrounding ground plane.
Try putting your lego landspeeder up on a layer of silver bricks and see what it
looks like. From certain angles it oughta be rather convincing.
