Roman Soldier Chess Pc.: Eagle Standard Queen

Roman Soldier Chess Pc.: Eagle Standard Queen

'The Standus, or standard, was a crucial military emblem in the Roman army, representing the identity and unity of a unit. Typically carried by the Signifer, the Standus displayed symbols, such as animals, gods, or even the unit's name, which fostered a sense of pride and camaraderie among the soldiers. The Standus was not only important for rallying troops during battles but also served as a guiding point during maneuvers, reinforcing the tactical organization of the Roman legions. Losing a Standus in battle was considered a significant disgrace.'

Note: I am printing with a Bambu mini A1. It is AWESOME! I am still learning and apologize for not having better images. I am retired and do this as a hobby. No monies coming in from doing this. So, 'Want to donate a spool of PLA? I would appreciate that!' 😀 Let me know how your printed models came out. Upload some images.  Others will appreciate you doing so.  Happy printing! ~Clyde.

ANNEALING ~ Hardening your chess pieces.

Annealing your models gains 10 to 20% MORE strength.  I highly recommend this treatment IF you plan on playing chess with these PLA models.  If you are just a collector and plan on only displaying the Chess Set (Playing carefully 'once-in-awhile') there is no need to treat the PLA model.
