CCCIX Miscellaneous Entry: Gypsy Caravan

[Frank_Lloyd_Knight]

Here's just a fun little idea I've been sitting on for some time: A Gypsy caravan. In making it, I imagined a set whose characters could easily wander in and out of Castle, Pirate, or Town settings equally well. While I haven't really made much of background story to go with the model, I imagined the Gypsies to be a mysterious folk who would quietly appear with the first crisp winds of autumn, gathering in groups to hold horse fairs in the countryside; When they came to town, local princesses would often sneak away to find the gypsy women and have their fortunes told. But by the time that the worst of winter had arrived, it seemed that the gypsies had just as secretly disappeared. The roof of the model can be removed, and inside the cabin are two cots and a stove. Hope you enjoy it.

That's cool, love the colours. I've had the idea for a gypsy/travelling circus caravan in my mind for a while, this is great inspiration. I feel a bit sorry for the horses having to drag that around!

The colors and designs in the wagon are exceptional. Great work!
