I ordered that set from the Perry Bros. too, but had ordered from Foundry before.
Second Walter Sweetly has arrived this week and I converted him slightly yesterday. He is no longer any second now, but the actual Thomas Slade:

That's a great little conversion

Seconded, looks perfect.

[Will Bailie]

Yes, he certainly looks the part.

[Warboss Nick]

Good choice and nice conversion. Looking forward to see him painted.

I consider Thomas Slade being finished now:


The ship is not HMS Victory, of course. She is yet to be built under his supervision…

[Will Bailie]

FAntastic!  And I think that figurehead looks far better than any real-life example I've ever seen 

Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the project comes along!

[OSHIROmodels]

Excellent 

[Warboss Nick]

Most excellent! I love how much character you put into his face 

[OSHIROmodels]

Meant to ask earlier but where's the ship from?

It was a plastic kit that I converted to match 28mm. Regretfully I forgot what make and model, but I think it was the Mayflower by Trumpeter in 1/60th scale.

Love this Michi! ...and you managed to mix in one of your trademark ladies...or half of one anyway 

[Michi]

Many thanks for your kind replies.
I gave him a 5ft measuring stick. The last foot is in two halves of which one is divided into six inches.
