Soviet PPSh-41 Submachine Gun
I've always loved the look of this gun so I have decided to try something ambitious by re-creating this one as accurately as possible. I plan to make it as functional as styrene plastic will allow. Obviously it will NEVER be able to fire anything, but I'd like to have little plastic bullets in a spring-loaded drum magazine which will cycle into a little plastic chamber and then get ejected by a little plastic spring-loaded bolt!
My web research has produced actual machinists diagrams of most of the parts of the gun. Others I will have to extrapolate from photos. I will also carve a birch stock to complete the authenticity.
Information on the real gun can be found here...

Hey could you email me copies of the diagrams used to make this? I LOVE your work, and im interested in making a toy ppsh41 of my own. And could you describe a little more of the styrene molding? Such as what pudies and glues did you use? And where would I get a heat gun?
