The Sudanese are black Africans, the Egyptians aren't.

That's it, basically.

I'm not quite sure what the question is but......

These are the Perry Marching Egytians:

And these are the Perry Marching Sudanese:

Hi all,

Thanks, looking at the pictures (Thanks for linking), I can see no difference in the Sudanese and Egyptian marching figures e.g the 3rd figure from the left in both pictures,

I own a batch of both and just starting off the painting.

I must be missing something?

Thanks

Andrew

Oh wow, my memory is bad. I was sure I used the Marching Sudanese to get some African befezzed heads. Barring the odd moustache they really don't look all that different, do they?

Must have been something else. Oh well, sorry for leading you up the garden path.

They look great but there are all in pretty much the same position. Need some of them actually firing their weapons.

you know, having taken a good look at them, I think you're right.... very odd!

3 reloading, 3 firing. Not too bad.

Face are different. Egyptians appear to have mustaches.
