Anybody do a 28/30mm figure of Ben Franklin?

Try one of the civilians in the Perry AWI range. There is a gentleman waving his hat, but I can't recall whether or not his hairline is balding. A little conversion work could turn him in old Ben.

AW73 is the pack, and yes he looks like Ben Franklin.

In addition to the Perry figure, there a figure in the Old Glory pirates range pack, Fat Governor and Creepy Assistants, that makes a good Franklin: link It's the figure in lower left hand corner of the picture, holding a piece of paper in two hands. It looks more like Frankling than the picture would indicate.

Front Rank makes a pack of civilians for the 18th century and I think the portly gentleman holding the tankard might fit the bill -- altho' there are no eyeglasses and he's wearing a more carefully arranged wig than you typically see on Ben Frank. link link

Was Franklin short? The bottom row, far right figure is like Franklin but it's in 1/72 link
