Not sure about the guy on the left, a bit odd pose, but the traps are gems, very cool markers

I like these miniatures but I wouldn't know what to do with them. Mounties are certainly dashing but I can't really relate to them. Nothing I have read or seen on the telly tells that story.

I've been growing with the stories of Jack London, some of these models would be great for this. But to be honest I also doubt I’m going to make anything like that.

I have vague memories of Sgt Preston of the Yukon being shown essentially as Sunday afternoon filler on television, forty odd years ago. The Dudley Do-right cartoon stirs some antediluvian memory. Even so, I can't see much use for these myself, save that the mounties might make serviceable members of Lord Strathcona's horse for some early 20th Century action, were I to be so inclined, which I'm not.

The Mounties were a regular pulp feature, actually. "Always get their man" and all that, plus some crossover with the romance pulp, as every lady loves a square-jawed man in uniform.

I had a chat with Bob Murch at Trumpeter Salute 2011 (he missed the 2012 con for some reason) which started with me basically saying, "Um, trappers and Yukon stuff? Wut?" and Bob going on at great and enthusiastic length about the Mounties in pulp!

Yes, he wrote something about that in an interview linked to here on LAF recently. And please don't get me wrong, I really like these non-mainstream themes for miniature ranges. They keep things interesting. When I think about it, it is fascinating how Back of Beyond (interwar Central Asia era of unrest) took off to be what can be considered a rather mainstream wargaming period (not to mention VBCB).

Going to get me some Mounties! I was lucky enough to see the Musical Ride a few weeks ago and I feel the need to add to my Mountie force.
