Hello folks,
I am going trough some unfinished figures and decided to get these two chaps up in line.
One figure represents one of the corps i have always admire because of their bravery, loyalty to their adopted king and amazing looking uniforms, the Gardes Suisses.
The original figure, torso and legs are from the French brand Modeles Et Allures, and is more like a true 60mm, the head is from JMD, the lace was done usimg green stuff.
The other figure torso and legs are from Modeles et Allures, head again is from Miniwelt , the lace is adapted from Historex parts and this fellow represent the Famous Gardes Francaises who, unlike the Swiss guards, they joined the mob and attack la Bastille .
This scenette will havebthe swiis guard and French guard next to an iron door entrance.

A fantastic project and a great start; love both uniforms. I wish I had your sculpting and conversion talents.
