Any figures in this style of duster?

Isn't there an ACW coat/cape that's similar?

Yes there is
As for a figure with this kind of coat I only find this one (on the left) from Blue Moon Manufacturing

Artizan Doc Holliday has a cloak, not sure whether you could convert it into a duster?

Yes there is
Thanks Calimero, I'd forgotten about Blue Moon's range. Not a big fan but worth looking at.

It's actually a coat thrown over one shoulder. Nice figure though as I have it.
ACW figs may work as I'm going to be converting weapons etc anyway. Redoubt do a small selection http://www.redoubtenterprises.com/shop/?page=shop/browse&category_id=29db73d6ba6c5320b0457420a46b2af0
Any other ACW ranges that have them? Renegade and Perry don't and while the Redoubt ones look okay I need some in standard 'advancing' poses and not the really irritating 'shouldered arms' pose. In an ideal world I'd like them to have open coats too but that's less important.

Come on man, its a cape - get the greenstuff out and make what you want. All those Artizan and Balck Scorpion figs in dusters are screaming out for it. :D

I am sure Foudnry have some amongst their Missouri raiders sets

There's this pack from Foundry
(http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/ACW/2/7b.jpg)
Irritatingly only one pose but as I'm likely to head swap and weapon swap that's possibly less of an issue than normal. Would become more of an issue if I expanded on them though.
Karl, you're right, there's this guy who'd make for a decent 'character' fig.
(http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/OW/4/7b.jpg)
Actually, as I go through there are several in the Foundry Old West sets, irritatingly only one per pack but you can never have enough cowboys right?

That's my fall back position but if I can save time by working on figures that're almost there then so much the better.

Then get this one instead:

Ooh, how did I miss that one? I went through every page, or so I thought.
The kneeling figures would be useful, the firing I can work into a different squad, the 3 loading, I'm not sure what I'd do with. I'm sure something would come up, as long as I don't end up with 9 of them or something :?
-
I have to chime in on the Green Stuff band wagon here. Rather than kill yourself hunting down a few figs with caped dusters, make one on any guy in a long coat. A little flat bit of green or grey stuff will fit the bill just fine.
-
The problem is more in poses. These figs will be used to make Deadlands Wasatch troops, so there'll be quite a few weird weapons added and any that are armed 'normally' will have Winchesters.
This pack from Black Scorpion is about the only one that comes with everyone wearing a long coat but they tower over my other figs and the poses are rather restrictive for troops.

For character figs etc I may well greenstuff some in.

Yes, Foundry "Reb Newton" mounted and dismounted figure.
+ Foundry packs OW2/1, OW2/7, OW3/2, OW3/3 each have ! mounted + dismounted figure in a caped coat, which could be painted as dusters.
