Samurai infantry banners

I was able to get the infantry banners to cast sucessfully, however I have some concerns as to their durability. The vertical pole that holds the banners is very thin and being resin it's also very fragile.

I am faced with two options make them in resin and let the end user beware or I can have them made in metal so they will be a bit more durable. (but It will also take 2-3 months before I'd have them in stock). I'd like to get a show of hands and see who is interested and what preference you might have resin/metal.

Price would likely be 5 banners for $3 and there would be traditional samurai sashimono banners as well as sci-fi style hi tech banners.

(their design & details are the same as the mech banners I currently offer, they are just scaled down)

I think metal would be best.

(Very nice guns you have there, btw)

Supply each set with brass rod and don't bother casting poles at all. White metal gets bent to shit and resin breaks, brass is just a better option.

I'd go with metal too. Why don't you see if one of the mods can turn this into a poll?

Just make sure the third option in your poll is 'Colonel Marbles doesn't do back banners...' :D
