Not a very descriptive render but I figured I'd post it anyway.

I was between some projects in my portfolio list and I decided to do something in the spur of the moment and whipped this up for a slightly larger project; A Thompson M1A1. This is the “high poly” version of the base mesh even though its almost manageable as a real time asset at roughly 10k triangles.

I wanted to take a stab at updating the Thommy to the 21st century. I watched and Episode of Sons Of Guns on Discovery where they did something similar with a Thompson though I didn't think they took it far enough with the modifications they made. They may have added a rail to it but it looked like a tac on to me so I wanted to take the concept further with a fully updated kit.

I'm planning on making adapters to popular after market parts (AR style stocks, weever rail mounted accessories) using the Thomy gun Upper/Lowers as abase for the project. I'm not trying to reinvent the thommy gun so the internals are all the same I just want the exterior of the weapon to be accommodating for modern equipment.

I'm having a problem with feature creep so the concept isn't quite nailed down yet but I have a rough Idea where I want to go with it.

For the moment this is the only render I have of it. I had some more but I guess this was the only one I saved. Hopefully I'll have some more in the coming weeks (I start a new job today) but I don't even know if I'll pick up the projects I already have in my queue because of the crazy schedule I'm supposed to be working.

Anyway, enjoy!
