Guy, I am really looking forward to the processes as you build this delightful looking MG TC. Now I ask. Did you "spoke" the wheel or just cleaned off the 'chrome and seam lines ? because it looks 'sharp' if you get my drift. super duper as they say. !!! 🙂

I started to build this iconic MG TC today. Updates will follow shortly.

Oh! Guy.
You have a habit of reviving surpressed memories, as a 19 year old I had the real MG TF 1500...🙂
watching!!!

@Kerry: I "spoked" the wheel thanks to the great aftermarket wheel set made by South Eastern Finecast. They come with photo etched spokes, metal rims and new tires.

Ah ha, and the difference is outstanding Guy. I did the wheel build on a Honda Rc166 motorcycle, spoke by spoke, and that's why I asked, as it looked the same. 🙂

After working at my homepage for a while, I rebooted this project...

Yeah I know, you are right of course. I was hoping to skip this part to be able to continue building without having to wait and see 'paint dry', but as I said myself some days ago: "being in a hurry is seldom a good advisor"... So I clearcoated all the bodyparts today, and they will stay in the drying booth for a week now while I will be doing something else (maybe I can start working on the chassis).

I love your paint job so far, Guy. My brother rebuilt 2 of these successively in real life from the chassis rails up, back in the 60's. I remember driving round the block on a chassis with seats and wheels. I have the Minicraft 1:16 version in my stash, so I'm keen to see what can be done with this model. I've never driven one, but I believe that they're a bit of a hoot!!
I look forward to your next bunch of progress photos.

Built this myself many moons ago - tough and awkward build to be honest ... but I was trying too hard and probably made it all the worse for myself. I actually "spoked" the wheels on mine using a home made jig and "invisible thread", I don't know how, or even if it's politic to post photo's into this thread, otherwise I would show you my meagre efforts - nothing for you to learn I suspect but might of showed you a few things "not" to do?
Great job so far - looking forward to seeing your progress.

I really hope that I will be able to achieve that goal until the end😉

The mirror finish is the key to it all, and from this POV it's something you have taken a great deal of care with. Super to look at Guy. 🙂

Brilliant stuff, Guy, and I agree with all the other compliments too.
and to Andi Little, why not create your own project and add your photos there. I'm many are now interested in your spokes wheels.

and I also meant to add - love your photo tags & the reference to Monogram too - nice touch and a sign of respect to the manufacturer.

Nice! I've got the '81-copyrighted release I need to get around to building.

What a delightful little gem you have shown us all here Guy. I have seen it come and go for many months here and I have always enjoyed each step you have posted.
I hope you have sent Monogram some images of your work, as they would be most impressed. 🙂
No other word but Stunning would fit here.
Congratulations my friend. 🙂 🙂 🙂

A masterpiece to be sure.👍
I love the result you got with the BMF, such a tricky medium to use and make it work for you. 🙂
A real passion for the mark if ever I saw it. So enjoyable to look at, and the quality of the images makes it all the more enjoyable.🙂
beautifully done. 👍
salute. 🙂
