Nice work, thanks for sharing. Your cavalry look great and your book shelf appears to be well stocked as well.

Nice cavalry. The project seems to be coming along nicely. Seeing the models being painted up bit by bit over the years seems like a true testament to patience and joy in the hobby. Very inspiring to me.

And one nice looking library too.

Thank you fair gentlemen. Here's some more pics for your perusal. Can you spot the weird UFO ent in the background of the location shots.

Nicely done Ol' chap!

I've always thought that aiming at hitting anything with a wheellock or flintlock would have been quite the skill while on horseback!

I was impressed to learn about the Bodleian Library or The Stacks which has floors and floors of books below street level. Apparently it takes 3 days to order a book as they have to find it and pull it up by a series of elevators. For every book published in the UK they have to hold a free copy here for reference purposes. Oxford always reminds me of Altdorf from Warhammer, Terry Pratchetts college of magic or that place in GOT where Samwell Tarley goes to study with the Maesters. I was really impressed by the place.
There is a really good bookshop called Bramwells as well as Phillip Pullman and Harry Potter tours held daily. Tolkien tours are less often so I made my own one with a guide book. Anyway please enjoy my out and about in Oxford video. I'll add this to my hobby vlog I think.

Also did some research/sightseeing in Banbury near by for my ECW project.
