As of the last month or so been doing a lot of modeling by request. In this case below, is a shot of me as a Regulator, circa 1900, along the Mexican Border, based on the book, El Illano Escadado, Santa Fe, New Mexico. These modeling assignments are for the Washington Art League, whereby about 50 or so artists gather once a week to paint subjects of all sorts. They have been using me for the last month in various poses, this thread-topic is the post popular for them. Imagine, if that bandito would come upon a Christinasa type, in distress, as maidens find themselves................ imagine....... Behold the Gold. RAMS

Thank you dear. It is my normal clothes, as always, minus the double barrel shotgun. I use a pump shotgun
Everything else is my attire while riding or down south

That coat is my "Long Rider Duster", made of wool, and Coyote hides, 3 of them, from the ranch in Montana, shot, tanned and taken to the Blackfoot Reservation for the Squaws there to make into a winter duster--a common thing for cowboys in Montana to have made for winter range work for cattle and livestock herding-driving. That coat is 22 years old. Jennifer helped me make the final lining after I had used it for a few years, lining it with a Autrailian Wool blanket. Now, I use it when riding in foul weather, or crossing the Coronado desert at night in VEX, with the top off the Jeep. It is floor length and weighs about 10 pounds. Coyote fur/hide is the warmest fur on earth, which few are aware. The Blackfoot will tan the hides, but for religious purposes, will not remove the heads, thus the coat has the heads still on the fastened cape, one on each shoulder flank. You can see them hanging in the photo below. In Montana, at the ranch, circa 2003 (Mira El Corazon)RAMS
