So the palace guard standard comes in two metal pieces that I could see getting broken the moment I finished painting it and frustrating the crud out of me so… changes made. I cut the head piece off first. I then cut the ax off of a pair of hands drilled out the hands with a 1/16inch drill bit. I put 16 gauge wire through the hands (slightly smaller than 1/16 inch but you use what ya got and do the best ya can) drilled through the head piece and put it on the end of the wire. I added a little plastic bead to give it a bit more strength and there we have it. I worries the bead would be too big but I think it turned out okay.

That’s the way! I use my drill a LOT.
Mh … did it really come in two pieces? Been so long that I built and painted my Palace Guard Standard Bearer that I don’t remember - but I can’t recall having to do anything too difficult and it’s not fallen apart since and survived the tournament as well

You must have gotten the cast titanium minis,hehehe. My experience with pewter staves and pewter minis in general is that they fall over and shatter. I was never good at pinning minis lol
