It is thought that there were around 80 or more unfilmed Hammer projects but the number is probably a
lot higher and we will certainly never know the full number. With the help of Simon Greetham a long
time fan of Tom Chantrell's work we can now see a small number of the preproduction artworks
prepared by Tom Chantrell for Hammer. Even though Tom Chantrell sold off much of his original work
in later years he still retained full copyright on his artwork. All artwork (c) TOM CHANTRELL.

This is the original artwork by Tom
Chantrell for the "The Amazon
Queen" which Tom did for Hammer
in the early 70s.
Not much is known about this
project but Tom has used a
reference photo of Robin Hawdon
from "When Dinosaurs Ruled the
Earth".
It looks to be a cross between
"She", "The Viking Queen" and
"Slave Girls" and was certainly one
of the many projects abandoned
when Michael Carreras took over
Hammer in the early 70's.
