Models turned into terrain?

The link below goes to a Lead Adventure Future Wars post I did that shows some Buzz Lightyear ships - and at the bottom of the photo two pods (that I thought might be rockets). 

Well, I bought them today thinking I would use them as some sort of fuel towers or something like that - but they wouldn't stand upright.  Sure, I could easily find a way around that problem but first I unfolded them and laid them flat and realized - with the scale of the 15 mm figure in the photo below - they could be some sort of installation on my variation of Tatooine for my Star Wars gaming adventures.  That is likely the direction I will go, probably with some modifications and definitely with a significant repaint.  Now I just need to decide what sort of an installation.  I could still use one as fuel tower.  

I also found some much smaller versions of the Buzz Lightyears ships that I will be adding to my debris field so I now have three large vessels and three small vessels - no photos yet of the smaller vessels.  Still trying to find a way to represent an imperial destroyer type ship and do it for cheap.  Maybe I'll get lucky at a garage sale or swap meet or something.  If not, I will have to do some creative scratch building.

My overall color scheme for buildings and the debris field will be a desert sand color with varied tones of browns and tans, maybe some reddish tones - and some heavy rusting where appropriate.
