Eric Fleming (trail boss Gil Favor on “Rawhide”) sketches in his studio with a female model. On the right are some of his sculptures. Fleming use to spend hours painting and sculpting in his off time. Coming to scupture in an odd way, he had his nose reshaped by a plastic surgeon before starring on “Rawhide”. “My nose, as nature made it, was too big. I was fascinated by the way the plastic surgeon worked. I wanted to mould things, too. So I took to sculpture.” (Thanx to Terry Cutts.)
