Thompson M1928 Mechanical Wooden Model Kit – 275-Piece DIY Model

Build a legendary piece of mechanical history with the Thompson M1928 Mechanical Wooden Model Kit. Made from 275 precision-cut wooden pieces, this detailed DIY project recreates the distinctive profile of the classic Thompson, complete with its iconic drum magazine, wood-grain stock and mechanical firing system.

More than a display model, the finished build incorporates working mechanical components, a removable magazine and continuous firing action, turning the assembly into an interactive engineering experience.

Designed for model builders, mechanical enthusiasts and collectors looking for something far beyond an ordinary wooden puzzle.

🧩 275-Piece Mechanical Building Experience

Build the model yourself from 275 precision-cut wooden components.

Each piece fits together to gradually form the body, stock, grips, barrel assembly, drum magazine and internal mechanical system.

Detailed illustrated instructions guide you through the construction process step by step, making the mechanics part of the building experience rather than simply hiding them inside the finished model.

⚙️ Gear-Driven Mechanical System

At the heart of the model is an intricate gear-driven mechanism.

The internal gears work together with the loading and firing components, allowing you to see mechanical engineering translated into a functional wooden construction.

It's an engaging project for anyone who enjoys mechanics, engineering, wooden models and hands-on assembly.

🎯 Continuous Firing Mechanism

Once assembled, the Thompson features an interactive continuous firing system.

The mechanical mechanism can launch the supplied lightweight wooden cartridges in rapid succession, adding an interactive element to the completed build.

The manufacturer specifies a firing rate of up to approximately 5 shots per second.

🔄 Removable Drum Magazine

One of the Thompson's most recognizable features has been recreated as a large removable drum magazine.

It integrates directly with the model's mechanical loading system while giving the completed build its distinctive vintage appearance.

🪵 10 Wooden Cartridges Included

The kit includes 10 lightweight wooden cartridges designed to work with the model's mechanical firing and ejection system.

The cartridge mechanism adds another layer of mechanical interaction after you've completed the assembly.

🔧 Mechanical Loading & Ejection

The model doesn't stop at launching the cartridges.

Its internal mechanism recreates a loading and cartridge-ejection action, allowing the moving components to interact as the mechanism operates.

This makes the finished model particularly interesting for builders who enjoy seeing how mechanical systems work.

✨ Detailed Laser-Cut Finish

Precision laser cutting and engraving create the small mechanical and decorative details throughout the model.

The combination of natural light wood and darker wood-grain sections highlights the stock, pistol grips and forward grip, while engraved details add depth to the body and drum magazine.

The result is an impressive mechanical display piece once construction is complete.

📐 Large 1:0.8 Scale Model

With its approximately 1:0.8 scale, this is a substantial wooden build rather than a miniature desk model.

Its size, distinctive drum magazine and contrasting wooden finish make it an eye-catching display piece for a collection, hobby room, office or workshop.
