These are impressively detailed figures! The uniforms and accessories are top notch stuff!
But of course my eye is drawn to your clever backgrounds. The ol' paper bag trick to create cliffs and grottos, eh? My own efforts in using this technique have been less than satisfactory. There's an art to getting enough crinkle in the paper to look rock-like, without getting too much so it either becomes too soft, or it looks like a wadded-up grocery sack. You have found that perfect balance, and then accessorized it well with an effectively Star Wars-ian assortment of jungle foliage.
I don't suppose you've considered giving Chewie a "dieselpunk" WWII-style makeover? (Then he could join Han in a Force 10 from Navarone remake!)

Thanks my friend, yeah these guys are amazing figures, and being a huge star wars fan I had to get the heroes from childhood! You again are spot on David, but no trick really to the brown paper, I just screw it back up and throw into a box until I need it again, lol!
I couldn't do it Dave! lol, Maybe some Hasbro versions?, maybe a new project??
