Guardsmen are recruited exclusively from Swiss citizens and undergo a rigorous selection process as well as specialized training. The protection was first established by Pope Julius II during the Renaissance, when the guards not only defended the borders of the Papal States but also participated in the defense of the Vatican during many turbulent moments in history, such as the Sack of Rome in 1527. The distinctive, colorful uniforms—recreated in the model with remarkable attention to detail—immediately evoke the tradition and splendor of this formation.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eICM 16002 Model Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eProduct type: Plastic model kit – historical figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/16 – ideal for displaying detailed uniforms and weaponry\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: Vatican\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: from the Renaissance to the present day\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSet includes: Plastic sprues, one guard figure, weapon and equipment parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNot included: Glue and paints (must be purchased separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: High-quality polystyrene plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFinely detailed uniform, helmet plume, and weapon elements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWho is it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    This model is especially recommended for collectors of military historical figures, enthusiasts of papal themes, and exhibition reenactors.
