What is the best way to integrate magnetic levitation into my model diorama?

Question

I am making a model of a sci-fi tank that uses anti-gravity as part of the propulsion system. I was thinking of using rare earth (NdFeB) magnets with opposite poles facing to create the anti-gravity effect.
I am also wondering if I should also use same pull strength magnets on both the model and base? Should some magnets be used as attractors to keep the model steady and from flying away on its own?

I would like to have an open space below the tank to put a couple of that army's soldiers underneath for a dramatic effect.

Answer 1

If you build high enough "walls" around the magnet base, then it should hold the model steady while it floats...it won't shoot off into space, so don't worry about that. It's like a bullet train concept...except the track locks the train in as it glides across the magnets.
