. Your Speeder Bikes sound cool too, but yes, I can imagine them swinging about like crazy if you knocked them!
Perhaps I'm misreading / misunderstanding your reply, but just to clarify, although I showed comparison pics of the new and old skiffs in my first post, the pair of skiffs hanging in the cabinet are identical; they're both the new larger Hasbro versions.

You’ve used the available space well.
As above I can only imagine how difficult it was to get those two lined up and looking like they are flying along in front of the barge.
Really impressive, congratulations.
Thanks, Nick
Now that I have a bit of space beneath the skiffs, I'm wondering whether I should put anything there? I was thinking about a bantha, but then I wondered if it would look like the Khetanna was about to mow it down!

I think that anything else in there will begin to look cramped, had you considered painting the base a sand colour, and i know you have the skills, perhaps a background?

Sorry I thought you hung the original one too, didn't know you had two of the new one's can see that now, I don't buy much modern but this skiff I just may have to pick up

You're probably right about it looking cramped, so I guess I'll leave that space clear, however I definitely am considering installing a sandy-coloured floor to the cabinet, and maybe some sort of background too. If I could work out how to contain it safely without making a horrible mess everywhere, I'd even consider adding real sand to the base as I think that would probably look good.
