How about some NWMP for a Wild West scenario with a difference?
Or some cowboys/gun slingers please?

Depends what your concept is:
If it is this

or this

Then ZC2 might do in the Zulu Wars range.
If, however, your concept is more this

or

Then it would be time to fire up the sculpters.
Hi
I think people have this sort of vision of mounties:-

Unfortunate that the lemon squeezer has the indents in the wrong spots for NZ or US troops otherwise they'd have my vote too :).

He sleeps all night and he works all day.
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.

He's the one pressing wild flowers, out of shot.

I thought there were Canadian cavalry in pillbox hats already available. Aren't there also Confederates, Boers, Communards and C19th civilians that might be suitable?

The Canadian cavalry in pillbox are is shell or stable jacket and are only equipped with sword/pistol as appropriate for mounted militia in the 1860s.

Ah the magic of the movies! Alas my post was an attempt to be based on what they wore in the early years. The current RCMP full dress with the 'hat' obviously recalls the days when that was what they wore everyday in the North West Mounted Police. Not sure when the 'hat' came in though though this Bryan Fosten plate shows a 'Mountie' (NWMP) in 1897 (Diamond Jubilee job presumably).
