Thanks

Gary it’s pure speculation but I would say the Perrys will tower over the Essex Stuff.
Modern 28s meet old school 25s?

Their horses are on the small side

Some of the Essex ranges were sculpted in the 1980s and so have the larger heads typical of ranges sculpted in that period. Others are a bit more modern. I'm afraid that I don't know when Essex's Muslim range was sculpted. I'm looking at some Perry Miniatures Crusaders now and they don't have large heads.
