louis Carabott Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Really enjoyed this build....I really am in love with classic cars. Needed a lot of work especially the engine and the fire wall. Weather piping all from scratch using soldering lead wire , painted and worked into shape. Finished in Gravity paint and lacquer in Ferrari Avorio and Ford Maroon next on the bench Jaguar SS100 also in 1/16 scale Thanks for looking 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainford Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Very nice build of a very cool old sports car. The engine looks great with all the added details. The piping looks good, too. Looking forward to seeing your XK SS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugatti Fan Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 A really lovely model build of this old British sports car. For those who do not know, Louis a number of years back was awarded Overall IPMS UK National Champion for one of his fantastic wartime dioramas that are now on permanent display at the Malta Air Museum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drodg Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 When I was like 14 I read The Red Car by Don Standford and I have been in love with the TC since then. My grandson who is now 21 has read the book at least twice and I have read it maybe like 3-4 times. I have yet to build any of the TC kits out there. This is such a nice build. You really did a great job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a pre-teen and teen, I always hoped to have my own one day. I admired Warren Weith's writings in Car & Driver magazine, and he drove a TC! Then I learned how temperamental and difficult the MG T-series cars were -- and how expensive to maintain. End of desire to own, but the overall love affair lives on! Beautiful build!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love The Red Car as a kid, and I have a Monogram TC in my stash. No surprise what colour that one's going to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
