Hi there, as you say you wouldn’t mind tackling a bust, I would comment as follows:
Legion offer a very bust entitled Old Cowboy reviewed on here a short while ago.
Dolman also do as great bust of Mac Coy (of comic book fame) which would with a little work would paint up as a non cavalry bust.
Andrea do a mountain man, John Wayne in cavalry uniform (lose the epaulettes and paint as any western figure) and Custer in their bust range (and some other western figures including High Noon and Winchester 73 in their other scales).
Glory Boys do a very nice 1/6 th scale bust of a cavalry trooper (the sculpting and casting of the pistol is great!) which need only be painted with a different colour shirt.
Personally not very keen on the two western busts produced by Pegaso or Youngs, but while they may not be to too my taste they too with a little effort could be made to work.
And finally, I cannot resist the chance to mention that I am selling a 1/6th scale bust of Wyatt Earp sculpted by Mike Goode on eBay.
I can’t see it mentioned above but Altores promoted on PF a little while ago, a great scene of a bar room brawl with one of the figures based on Charlie Prince from 3:10 to Yuma
Verlinden used to produce three western figures in 120mm and these can be picked on eBay etc from time to time (their High Noon figure wasn’t too bad but the best if the three was called A Game Gone Wrong ..or something similar).
Hope all of this helps
Good luck with the hunt.
