A bit of a disappointment - I only received 45 figurines and no Nelson, Hardy and Thomas?

I have now positioned the port side 25 ft cutter and made progress on the starboard side cutter. After making 6 of these small boats the quality is improving - I'm starting to get the hang of it. Roeland attached the following image(s):

I provisionally positioned the cutter and 8 figurines (before painting) on star board side. I'm not sure how many people would be used to hoist the cutter; I allowed for 4 but imagine it would be many more. The other 4 figurines will be off-loading the oars - also not sure if this is correct? Roeland attached the following image(s):

Roeland,
Terrific detailing on those figures and lots of imagination.
I love the guy with the rope wrapped around his body.
Keep the pics coming.

The guns for the cut out are now in progress. I painted the royal cipher on the barrels and had to enlarge the circumference of the middle deck guns as they did not match the dummy guns - this was done with heat shrinking tube. I also had to lower all gun carriages to line up with the dummy guns. Unfortunately I did not do the later two with the previous guns made. The eye bolts are made of 0.2 mm stainless steel wire. I used cast iron paint for the barrels and gave the trucks a wood colour finish with a painted pin. Roeland attached the following image(s):
