Round 2 - VBCW: Welsh Gypsy Ladies vs. To protect and serve

[Calimero]

I really like the rich colors of the first entry. Nice work Hammers

[twrchtrwyth]

@Hammers, great idea and painting. Was the that link to the Welsh Gypsy writer of any use?

@Plynkes, you really didn't know?

[Plynkes]

I really didn't know what? Sorry mate, you've lost me there.

[twrchtrwyth]

Sorry, does sound vague re-reading it. I meant about the Gypsies in Wales.

[Plynkes]

I never said that. What I said was that they don't look like no Gypsies I ever saw in Wales. Last time I ran into Welsh Gypsies I was hitch-hiking to the West Country and trying to get to the Severn Bridge. Two burly lads with tattoos in a white van picked me up in Pontrilas and dropped me off somewhere between Newport and Cardiff. They certainly didn't resemble Hammers' Gypsies, and that's putting it mildly. 

Say what you like about travelling people, but they pick up hitchers more often than regular folk. Got lifts from them loads of times.

I think Plynkes meant that I have taken liberties with how they are dressed. I guess mine look like they gotten their costumes from the wardrobe  of 'Carmen' rather than being accurately Welsh. Well, as to that I think Welsh gypsies as a rule stand a bit taller than 28mms to. I just want them to be recognizeable, by stereotypes if necessary, as gypsies.

[Plynkes]

It wasn't a serious criticism, just a bit of friendly banter. I love them.

[Hammers]

I took it as nothing but.

[twrchtrwyth]

@Plynkes, Sorry, I miss-understood. And your spot on about them not being half as bad as some newspapers would have you believe.

@Hammers, They are for VBCW, they HAVE to be stereotypes, .

[pierrebi]

who makes the policewoman?

[Captain Blood]

Think she's from Black Scorpion...

[Andy0476]

That's correct :
The policewoman is from Black Scorpion and "the boys in blue" are from Black Cat

[chainsaw]

Those Gypsy girlies are a bit good.
