    Agree there ...as for archiving ...the SBS will stay here unless it's deleted , just use the thread title to search if needed

    You could always copy relevant piste onto a spread sheet and save a copy

    Getting close to finishing modelling the Signifier, thanks to Nap for the push and think he’s turned out okay. Doing all those dots for the chain Mail nearly sent me cross eyed but the effect was worth it.

    Hi Marcus

    "Turned out okay" !!!!.........I think not .....looks really good the kneeling pose works well ...just seconds after falling to his knees wounded clutching still the precious standard

    Hope you counted the links on tge Mail ...lol

    One thing to think about ...how were the symbols se urged to the actual pole ?

    Happy benchtime

    Thanks mate, think the question is “How were the symbols (awards & decorations) attached to the pole?”

    I used a disc cutter, using the centre point, drilled that through and there is a metal pin inserted and drilled into the pole, that and gluing secures into place.

    hope that helps and answers the question?

    Hi Marcus

    I was thinking if perhaps they were secured with a band around pole at the back on the actual items ?

    Just a thought

    I see, to be honest I’m not sure. I’ve seen some examples of the Roman Standard (Signum) but according to history books no original examples exist. How we know what they look like are represented on some Roman coins and stone sculptures, so unsure how the awards were actually secured to the pole.

    I would have thought lashing might make them slide, pinning makes them secure and that technology would have been available so seems the logical choice, but who knows. I bow to anyone’s superior knowledge on this one.

    Finished the Signifier tonight, added loads of little details but think it was worth it as will really show up when painted.

    Thanks for the link, great find any useful info. I had considered adding a band behind each award on the Signum (like the image below from your link), easy enough to do and will now add. :)
