U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps Guidon Assembly – Custom 3D Printed Miniature Accessory Parts Pieces for Brick Block Figures

Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps Guidon 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 unit guidon (pennant) for the United States Army Coast Artillery Corps, mounted on a pole.

• Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a rectangular tile featuring a solid red field, which is the traditional branch color for artillery. To replicate the physical swallow-tailed shape of a standard military guidon, a white triangle cutout is printed on the fly end (right side). Centered prominently on the red field is the distinct golden/yellow Coast Artillery Corps insignia, depicting crossed cannons with an artillery shell (projectile) superimposed vertically in the middle. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this specific military detail.

• 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 unit standard bearer. (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 guidon of the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps (CAC). Established in 1901 and active until 1950, the Coast Artillery Corps was originally responsible for coastal and harbor defense, manning massive stationary guns and coastal fortifications to protect the United States from enemy naval threats. During World War I and World War II, their mission expanded to include anti-aircraft artillery and heavy railway artillery. The branch’s insignia—crossed cannons with an artillery shell in the center—was specifically designed to differentiate it from the standard Field Artillery branch (which uses only crossed cannons). A guidon like this would have been carried by a battery to mark its position or rally point. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic coastal defense forts, anti-aircraft emplacements, or building block WWII home front dioramas.
