I guess plastic is not really an option?

White metal is bendy tho Urban Mammoth did a fairly good job of their back banners a few years ago. Resin could be brittle for this size but it will be a lot lighter which might end up with less stress on the piece. I'd say which ever is easier for you to produce


Brass isn't really an option unless you make the banners three part kits (the rod, the flag and the bit that inks to the back)

Resin versions of the infantry scaled banners are now available :)

I do recommend only using them on plastic or resin models. The weight of metal models could damage the banner if the model falls or is handled roughly. If you treat your minis with care it shouldn't be an issue, but just giving a heads up as there is a segment of gamers who treat their stuff with ham fists and throw them in shoe boxes etc.

For those of you who want a removeable banner it'd probably work best to add a pair of small pins. The mounting spot is pretty small and unless you are use ultra tiny 1mm magents there's not much room. Pinning them will hold it in place just fine and you can remove it for storage which may be helpful as they significantly increase the models overall height and depth needed in a case.
