Here is Thorsberg Miniatures’ 54mm interpretation of Uncas, sachem of the Shattuck Mohegans of Southeastern Connecticut in 1645. He is not to be confused with the character Uncas, son of Chingascook, Last of the Mohicans of Cooper’s novel. This figure was well researched using the resources of the excellent Mashantucket Pequot Museum in Mashantucket CT.
The figure wears a breach clout, leggings a fox mantle and a deerskin shawl. I added OOP Hair-coat to the outside of the deerskin to give it more texture. He carries a well sculpted matchlock musket, a rarity of the period for the native people, as well as a carved wooden war club. His choker is based on the documented choker owned by Uncas on display at the museum. I also added several fly tying feathers to his dyed roach.
Ground cover is from a variety of sources and includes a fallen tree trunk from Armand Bayardi.
