U.S. Army 3rd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment – Custom 3D Printed Miniature Accessory Parts Pieces for Brick Block Figures

Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Army 3rd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment Organizational Color Flag Assembly

Item Type: Handheld Accessory / Building Block Figure Prop

Item Description:

This is a single custom-crafted accessory assembly designed specifically for building block figures and historical military dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of the official U.S. Army organizational color flag for the 3rd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, mounted on a pole.

• Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a rectangular tile featuring a solid infantry dark blue field. Centered prominently on the background is the official 16th Infantry Regiment coat of arms, featuring an American bald eagle displaying the regimental shield on its breast, the crest above, and a scroll reading “SEMPER PARATUS” (Always Ready). Beneath the eagle, a white scroll explicitly identifies the unit as “SIXTEENTH INFANTRY”. In the upper fly corner, a white circle enclosing the numeral “3” designates this as the flag of the 3rd Battalion. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this intricate regimental emblem.

• Hardware & Fit: The flag piece is firmly secured to a standard cylindrical black flagpole using two specialized black clip attachments. The diameter of the black pole is perfectly scaled to snap securely into the C-shaped hand of a standard building block character, allowing a figure to hold it as a color bearer or display it in a parade command setting. (Note: The square black base plate shown at the bottom acts as a display stand and can be easily detached so the figure can actively carry the pole in your brick scenes).

Historical Background:

This accessory accurately replicates the official organizational color flag of the 3rd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment. Constituted in 1861, the 16th Infantry Regiment is one of the U.S. Army’s most historically distinguished units, famously fighting in the Civil War, World War I, World War II (as part of the 1st Infantry Division “Big Red One”), Vietnam, and modern conflicts. In U.S. Army tradition, an organizational color represents the history, lineage, and collective honor of a specific battalion or regiment. Dark blue serves as the traditional primary branch color for Infantry, while the numeral “3” specifically identifies the 3rd Battalion. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic military color guards, parade formations, headquarters posts, or WWII and modern infantry building block dioramas.
