Nothing wrong with that at all. It's up to you how you want to display your models.

How ever you like mate ,you can always go back to it and redo the base when ever you get the time.

No big deal - it's just not a diorama, it's a base. It does give the vehicle a bit more 'context' than a non-based one.

Personally I think you should just stain the wood and place directly on that. IMO it look better than it being parked on something appearing to be like a putting green ... either conveys lack of skill or effort .. which detracts from the overall appearance. There are those who dont want to do groundwork ... and place on a stained base.
But .... it your vehicle/model ... its ultimatly your choice.
