This is great information

I literally could listen to Mr Capwell 24/7

Toby is a legend! Absolute master of his field.

Dr Capwell is a modern treasure, his vast knowledge on medieval arms and Armor as well as the other areas his expertise extends too is invaluable. I'd love to head down to the Wallace collection one day were incredibly lucky too have such a display in our tiny country.

Brilliant, since I stumbled across Toby’s output, I can’t stop watching. I’ve loved the Wallace Collection since a school trip in the 1950s and visit periodically, knowing little detail but bathing in the magnificence of the armour and arms exhibits. To have experienced (albeit second hand via KZread) Toby explain, share his knowledge and passion has re-lit that little schoolboy’s wonder and awe. So much so that I’ve pre-ordered his latest book on English armour. At a very young age I collected a few beautifully detailed and decorated model knights, probably 1/30th scale, die cast metal. I recall they were ridiculously expensive and weeks of pocket money’s worth for each model, the mounted knights being the most costly. When I went my first school (I must have been coming up to 5 years old) we called that ‘infant school’ in London, no nursery schools or pre-school for the working class in the immediate post-war England, I soon brought three of the small Collection to school to show them off. It was my first experience of heart break to discover at the close of play that somebody had stolen them, I was distraught. They were recovered days later after a bit of a hue and cry and the miscreant chastised by teacher but this varmint had snapped off arms, lost helmets and generally ruined these exquisite apples of my eyes, I never replaced them or asked for birthday presents of these wonderful pieces again and concentrated on Dinky Toys until “I grew out of toys”. Later, I did have an Airfix (or was it Revel?) plastic kit of the ‘Black Knight of Nuremberg’, which I painstakingly glued and assembled and my fascination with the subject has remained to this day but I do miss those wonderful little models which in the schoolboy world of post-war Britain touched me more than the recent military conflict material which obsessed schoolboys and filled our TV screens and cinemas, though being partial to models, naturally I had a large fleet of army vehicles (still got them all in the collection). Phew, apologies for,that long winded dribble, all I actually intended to say was “Thanks Toby, you’ve fanned that dim flame of a 5 year old’s interest in this amazing world”.

Absolutely love this, Dr. Capwell is the best :)

Need more of this, absolutely brilliant ❤

Ms. Capwell is an awesome teacher, and the collection is gorgeous. I Hope to be able to visit that collection someday

really great video! would love to see big films with historicaly accurate armour in future

Oh, you're interested in medieval arms and armor too?

So I heard ppl start metallurgy for making good looking stuff I love to think that the armor is the embodiment of metallurgy.

I have enjoyed your Lecture and the new, part 2 book signed yesterday at the Wallace Collection Museum. Jan.2022. 💫⭐️

Really great video. I'd really like to see the arms part of it.

So where and how can I get a spot in this tour

Armor is nicer looking than even smexi sports cars, just my opinion lol. But them guys in thr past sure had skinny ass legs

Tobias Capwell: "The ideal male body" 5:25

Is there a print version or an online version of Sir Samuel Meyrick's three volume text on armor?

Nice information, would like to see more, but why is this clock sound clicking in the background?

Sorry about that, we will have a look at it.

Didn't know Felonius Gru was a knight.....

You are not rich unless you have a suit of armour in your house.

These things were meant to be worn ONCE? That’s nuts.

Leg day thoroughly skipped

He’s a professional in the field of armor. I’m not surprised he has a personal passion for armor and associated practices, why is that something to be disparaged?
