MG TC Pics Reloaded

Posted by Martsmodels on Friday, May 27, 2005 6:53 AM

Seems there was a problem with the pics - must not like my Yahoo server or something. Try these

I hope these work because I've never used this site before (http://www.putfile.com)
although it seems nice and easy with no logon or anything (probably loose them all now)

Cheers - Martin

Niclas - pretty straight forward build (even the real car is like a giant Meccano set!).
The seats are leather from an old wallet and the floor flocked. I made the dash and the steering wheel. The door hinges are soldered brass tube and strip with the pins from a spectacle repair kit (handy!). I have the workshop manual so was able to wire the fuse box and do the fuel lines etc from that.

The kit (if it's the same as the Entex one) is already very well done, why did you have to re-do the seats, steering wheel, dash, etc, I mean it's not AMT but a real quality Japanese kit? A member posted pics a while back, didn't see no flies on that one...
