Working on this for my son's Spy Smasher, but it could certainly be used by Sgt. Rock, Capt. America or Dr. Jones! I had an old piece of unused plumbing that reminded me of the barrel of the Tommy gun. I cut the body from foam board with corugated plasric. i still have a couple more parts and some paint to go.Image

I didn't get it completely done, but I did get it done enough for it to be carried around at the airshow. When we laid it down next to an actual Thompson, the size was dead on. The historical re-enactors were honestly impressed- and they preferred the weight of our replica!Image

To me in that last picture it does look like you got the size pretty spot on. Nice one.

Thanks! It needs some knobs, paint and sealant, and maybe the sling attachments to really finish it.
