Gotta admit, I'm impressed by the detail you're putting into this.

Even though it's still rough at the moment, I'm giving this one:

The cocking Handle (that knob) is supposed to face Right not up

not on this version. The early 1928 tompson has the cocking handle on the top. The later M1 and M1A1 were VERY different weapons.

You're doing a great job. I'm glad after some of your earlier pictures the you have gone with the ribbed barrel.

Oh wow, Really? I guess the M41A Pulse Rifle was built on a later model Tommy.
The more you know, I guess :p

You know, once this is epoxied and painted, it'll be tough to tell it from the real McCoy...

went to ACE HARDWARE today looking for some glaze to finish the wood grain as I was there i found Minwax wood hardener.It said on the can to harden rotten wood to a rock hard finish .Well paper is like wood in-fact it,s processed wood so that the hey I,ll try it.Shore enough it made the paper rock hard.Though I,d just share a new trick I found to stiffen the paper after building.probly screw up printed pages but great on scratch builds.
