Tamiya evo7

While waiting for decals to arrive from tonio, i decided ill start a new project. Everyone loves new projects, dont you? :grinno:
It is the evo7 rally car that i have made some modifications to (SORRY RALLY-FANS I DIDNT INTEND TO DO IT :sorry: ) be more a drifter than rallycar, so if anyone needs some decals id be happy to send em, though i must warn you, there are some missing, rim-decals, fire-extegunisher decals and etc. just minor things, i was thinking more if someone messes up the white decals or somethin, very well.. I decided to make more of a drifter of it so i went crazy with the paintscheme and painted the interior black. I've also built a custom exhaust, but i dont think youll see too much of it at the pics..

I also thought i might use my mousepad as backdrop

I am particulary satisfied with the brakes

The pics came out really bright, ill try to have less light next time, and the suspension, I know, ill weather it later


C&C is as always appreciated

Nice Start! nice brakes . Are you replicating Rhys Millen's Evo? That would be nice!

I thought he drove a Pontiac GTO?

He used to drift an evo before he had his Pontiac...humhum...Holden (just messing with you aussies lol) I saw it on tv. In fact i think it was one of his own rally cars that he modified for drifting(not 100% sure)It was a 7 , not an 8
