I wish I had the time, money and skill to come close to collecting and painting anything that looked that good.

Ditto. That looks incredible.
We should organize a Groghead expedition to Grimsby to view one of their epic sessions.
Or come up with the funds to import them. Looks like there is a lot to learn.
Nice work, attention to detail, and overall setup. Wish I had the time and money to play too. Looks like fun.
