Somehow, as soon as I read the name "Welsh Gypsy Ladies" I knew it would be Hammers. They sure don't look like no Gypsies I ever saw around here, mind.

I take it the fellow with the dog is your signature item for this year, and they'll be in all the pictures somewhere?  :)

I read "Welsh Gypsy Ladies" and I said to myself "Ugh.  I wont like those."

And yet, they are fantastic, and in a great atmospheric setting too.

Nice one Hammers.

Now I'm Welsh and I'm telling you they aren't ladies lol
I've seen some rough women in my time (never slept with a rough one mind you) but I've not seen one anywhere near as rough as the one 3rd from right :D

Very well done both of you

They do sort of remind me of the "valley Commandoes" who used to lay seige to the RAF St Athen Naafi on Bop night ;)

Bona fide Welsh gypsy lass. Anyway, a bit of stereotyping is what pulp adventures is all about.

Left to right:

Hell Dorado, Black Cat Bases, WW, WW, Brigade games and WW. The Vardo is completely scratch built, the horse is Ebob. There is a RAFM gypsy fortune teller with a cat and crystal globe to go with it to.

Prestatyn ?

Can't be Wrexham, they're all Polish round there.

Since it's St David's day, shouldn't they be selling bunches of daffs ?


That chap in the background with the dog looks like Alfred Hitchcock, it's probably the deleted gypsy scene from "The Birds"

Welsh gypsies, and a man out walking the dog. Why do the two seem to fit so perfectly in my mind...?

 Incredible job on the gypsies! Love the paint scheme. I didn't know the Westwind ones could look so good. They could use your work on their website, Hammers.
