Here's a WIP pic of Mr.Murch's zeppelin troopers with jetpacks.  Colours just roughly blocked in!

I actually went and watched about a half-hour of Dudley Do-Right cartoons, just now, while waiting for one of the washes I'm doing for water feature terrain to dry.  lol

This is a nice idea, but a pedantic comment: RCMP rank chevrons are point down.

The exception to this is of course the rocket squadron. :) lovely work

I was just going to say that! The RCMP are just like any other Commonwealth member military or police force and wear rank chevrons point down.
Otherwise they look brilliant!  8)

Now that is a great idea. What's next? A maple-syrup-powered rocketship? ;)

No, seriously, very nice. A fine change off the beaten track of US-centric pulp games. I could imagine a lot of scenario opportunities, like illegal radium-mine prospectors, mischievous moose-poachers from Mars, pulp-fi prohibition booze smugglers (The Untouchables with rayguns) and the ever-scheming Québécois separatists' robot minions.

Wonderful. I have a few already painted in the 'standard' colours but this makes me think outside the box!

Rocket police are a great idea. A very interesting way of painting the zeppelin troops.
