U.S. Army Mine Planter Service Flag Assembly – Custom 3D Printed Miniature Accessory Parts Pieces for Brick Block Figures

Item Name / Model: Miniature U.S. Army Mine Planter Service 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 maritime dioramas. The item is a highly detailed, miniature replica of the official flag for the United States Army Mine Planter Service, mounted on a pole.

• Flag Component: The flag piece consists of a rectangular tile featuring a solid red field. Centered prominently on the background are white crossed cannons, representing the traditional insignia of the Coast Artillery Corps. Superimposed over the center of the cannons is a dark purple/blue submarine mine emblem. The surface has a smooth, high-quality printed finish that crisply captures this specific and highly specialized military-maritime design.

• 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 flag of the U.S. Army Mine Planter Service (AMPS). Operating under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps from the early 1900s through the end of World War II, the AMPS was a specialized maritime unit. Its primary and highly dangerous mission was to operate small vessels (mine planters) to lay controlled defensive underwater minefields in coastal waters, harbors, and strategic waterways to protect them from enemy warships and submarines. The crossed cannons signify their connection to coastal defense artillery, while the central mine explicitly denotes their unique naval role. This custom miniature piece is an essential, historically accurate accessory for builders looking to construct authentic coastal defense forts, military harbor scenes, or specialized building block maritime dioramas.
