that's ok, I will deconstruct it and try to make my own model. ps. all your weapons are really realistic, great work!

No, you do not have my permission (thanks for asking, though). I think that it's very important to use your own designs, and I would advise against selling any LEGO guns, as they could be mistaken for real weapons and are thus a danger to people around them.

I have remade this amazing model. Do I have permission to sell it?

please make a Luger p-08 :D

It's so detailed and accurate.

Sure! Be sure to base the entire construction process around approximated measurements of the weapon, as getting the proportions right is the most important aspect and will make or break the look of your finished creation. Also, make sure that you know what your top design priorities are; is it more important to make the gun look like the real thing, work like the real thing, or hold up (not break) like the real thing? In each part of the modeling process, you will have to choose between these three elements; the best model designs are the best combinations of these things. ~Cole

@Cole Edmonson: Ah yes, I knew they were big and unreliable, but I didn't know they stopped using them around this variant. Neat! Well I look forward to seeing a M1921 if you decide to make one. And also, I am thinking about making a few life size weapons (Pistols at first)any tips?

That's a good question! I'm actually thinking about building the M1921 variant in the future, in which case I'll definitely build a drum magazine for it. The later M1A1 never used a drum, however, as these were awkward and unreliable in the field. Thanks for the comment!

This is a great Thompson! Ever thought of making a drum mag for it?

Sorry, no instructions are available. Thanks for the comment!

wow, do you want to sell the instructions of this amazing weapon? 5/5 bro!

This is my fifth favorite lego weapon I've ever seen! Amazing! :O..

Well done!

Excellent replica. Unbelieveably realistic. You do great work. Once you have them built do you go back and glue your bricks together?

Hey Cole this is really an awesome build, not to mention that the Thompson is probobaly one of my favorite guns. Also, I was wanting to know if you would like to sell it. If you don't that is ok but, if you are willing I'd definately buy it.Thanks!

Dang!! Thats nice. this is my fav gun great job:)

An FN FAL or an L86A1/A2? Or an AWSM? I'm looking forward to it nomatter what it is!

Excellent 'Tommy'. do you think you could build a Sten MK II next?

I'm hoping to build this gun in the near future but am currently working on a more modern weapon that is used in the UK--stay tuned (and thanks for the comment)!

Cool!

Great! Thanks! I have a bloody good idea for kar98k's top but I don't know can I tell it to you because I might build it myself too... : >

I usually have a good idea of the different types of elements I need as I begin building and how many of each kind I need, based upon how much I used in my previous models. Thanks for your suggestion; as stated before, I'm currently working on the Mauser 98k, but I am indeed planning on building more modern firearms in the near future...

One question: When you order your Lego's somewhere do you just randomly order some amount of bricks or do you design your guns already and then order a right amount of pieces? And your next weapon: Make a modern one!

Awesome!

A perfect rendition of the world-famous Tommy Gun! I really like your Lego(R) weaponry!

Cole, you're a life saver! Thank you very much! I have to get myself some money now (just got work!) for bricks, because I don't have enough at the moment... I think you can expect the FAL somewhere late 2011 or begin 2012. Thanks again, -Jan

'Sorry if I've kept you waiting, Jan! Assuming that by the FAL 'carbine', you mean the regular FAL (with fixed stock and standard barrel), here are the approximate dimensions that you asked for: [Data are for FAL variant 50.00] Length of stock: 263.0 mm/10.4", Length of receiver (from stock to handguard): 294.1 mm/11.6", Length of handguard: 235.3 mm/10.0" (from handguard to exposed barrel, including the portion with the front sight post, this is 276.8 mm/10.9" instead). Additionally, the length of the barrel that is exposed (visible) on the outside of the gun is approx. 252.6 mm/10.0". 'Hope this helps! ~Cole

And I thought it was real! great job

STUNNING! Great job, Cole! I've got a question; do you know how long the FN FAL carbine's handguard is? Also how long the body and stock are. I really want to know, for my last project. Regards, Jan

hey cole, awesome gun! Juwst like the real one. do you mind checking out my new gun?

awesome, but i want to see a FG-42 first edition

Don't tell me you dismantled your M1 Garand! Great M1A1! The sights, barrel, and stock look much better than on your old version. 5/5

Oh no, I have not deconstructed the Garand; I merely left it out of the picture. (Every weapon that I have featured on MOCpages right now, excepting the Skorpion, is still built at the time of this writing.) Thanks for the comment! ~Cole

Good question! My guns cannot be field-stripped; I could build them this way, but in many instances, I would have to sacrifice both aesthetics and durability, which are two of my greatest priorities in model-building.

does is it field strippable

Well, my LEGO parts have come from all types of sources; I've accumulated plenty of boxed sets and secondhand parts over the years, but when I really need that certain piece, or just more bricks in a specific color (e.g. brown, dark gray), I usually head to either Bricklink or, if they happen to have what I want, the local LEGO store's Pick-a-Brick wall. (As far as my favorite Bricklink stores go, I find much of what I need at 'Chalet-go-Play.') 'Hope that helps! ~Cole

This is intentional; I've found that using a mixture of the older brown bricks with the new reddish-brown ones helps the furniture on my weapons look more like wood, with its naturally varying color.

grate creation.only problem is that not all the brown bricks are the same shade 8

Exellent 10/5

You definitely captured the likeness. Great Moc. One question is where did you get those special pieces from? any specific person on bricklink? A set? Thanks.

Nice 5/5
