Get out the fluorescent paint set (or Thai-dye?)

[NeilW]

Coronation of a New king in Thailand this week.

But just look at the uniforms of his various Royal Guards.

And also the toy soldiers with their toy guns.

Time to dig out the fluorescent paints. methinks.

(had a quick look but can't see anyone who makes Thai guard figs?)

BTW: I think the hats are spiked pith helmets with an OTT plume?

Nice one Neil

Great uniform colours ...like the pink version !....And he is parachute trained !

Bet the old guard from the BMSS would need to sit in a very dark room seeing these

Got to be a conversion figure out there somewhere !

Yes, I noticed all the badges as well.

Mind you nothing can compare with the no doubt well-earned bling on his new wife (ex cabin staff then quick promotion through the ranks). It'd make a good companion piece to HRH in her trooping the colour rig.

PS: looking at this again I think the pic shows his previous wife, not this new one (compare pics below).

Must be accurate on these things

Seems he's got form (and a fair degree of chutzpah): this is him and his wife and then mistress (now his new wife and queen) at his father's funeral.

An interesting trio to model?

But where are his elephants?

But where are his elephants?

BTW: they're not 'dancing', they're doing a slow march and salute (it's the late king's funeral).

There's a challenge for you Nap, perhaps Jimbo will help with the hat.

This is about as colonial as a set of uniforms can get!!!!!
