Manufacturer: JohnJenkinsDesigns (with one single figure that does not belong to this manufacturer
Scale: 60mm (1:30)
Hi,
this is another post about a display I tried to optimize. I have several mounted woodland Indians, two canoes, two wigwams (the greater one is not JohnJenkins), two female prisoners and the three heroes of the novel written by James Fenimore Cooper - Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Uncas. All of these figures don´t really fit to my other displays. So why not combining them into a separate display and call this one "The last of the Mohicans"?
The setup is different to the movie, but it had been the best way to combine all the figures of my collection that had not found use in other displays yet. It shows Major Duncan as a captive in a canoe, while Alice and Cora are already lead to the centre of the village as prisoners. The canoe that transported them is carried next to the women. From the woods Hawkeye, Chingachgook and Uncas are advancing in a hurry. Some Hurons already noticed them. They are shouting and threatening.
Again the display needs a suitable background. Watching the video (please turn on the tune) you will recognize that the glass in the background worked like a mirror. You can see my daughter and me filming the scene. I had also a closer look and saw that my daughter looks really fascinated at the display,. She said to me "Daddy, this looks very nice!". Maybe I will have the luck to get her in touch with wargaming and toysoldiers some time.:) (Dream on, you little fool!)
Cheers
Mike
