The model is Nils Vidstand, one of my favorite models of all time. He was one of the first models who invited me to come up and check out his weapons and props, to feel an old gun that he made and explained to me the history of cowboys; why they wore what they did, how they lived. He could act as well as pose and had great presence in his modeling. He looked like he had just walked right out of the Old West and into the studio.
