Completed my Evo 8 but was very disappointed with the end results..
Everything seems to go wrong into doing this car...
So here are the pics(taken in the night) will post more daytime pics if requested..
I know that the design might not appeal to most of you but its just a design that I wanted to try out..
ready for all your negative comments...:silly2:

Doesn't look too bad! The only thing i would say is that the decals on the rear wheel arch and at the front to the side of the headlights spoil the lines of the car a little.

It looks good, exept for the stock wheels and the factory "altezzas" :D But everything else looks cool. :)

actually i wanted to give it a stock car look totally...
then bad things happened and i resprayed the car 2 times...
then it happened again :mad:
dun understand why i keep dropping the car....
being mad, I did not want to respray the whole car a 3 time so i did the stupid designs... i agreed that it does not look very nice... not like an evo 8 at all but an evo 7....

Guess its time to let my modelling tools and all rest and take a break from modelling for the time being....:cry:

Thanks for not being so harsh...

The euro tail lights were done by me... this stupid kit does not provide it at all... came with the same as evo7... which is wrong as evo 8 comes with euro tail light...

Why take a break? Just work harder and more precise on the next one and it'll be great.

haha... Every morning when i wake up, I do my models till its time to go out... when I reach home i continue doing till the wee hours of the night and wake up early the next day to continue... better take a break and take a stroll and see the changes around me...

My gf complain to me the other day when we went out and the roads have all been diverted due to some works and I went blur and did not know which route to take then she say "Everytime with your models. Changes around you don't know. Like a person who have left the country for years and just returned..."

hehehe...

good job, I don't think the stock wheels suit the aggressive, dragon paint job - drop it onto some bigger wheels and it'll look much better and aggressive.

Hi ~ Hey... i'm so surprised by Fujimi's Evo VIII. I think the stock car look nicer. Hmm... I guess your headlamps spoilt everything, if not, it will be a nice car.. I was thinking whelther to buy this car or not. Did you buy this for $39.90 ?? :rolleyes: Oh ya.. i love your colour.. which yellow is that?

It does not looks so worst to me... but it is nice overall...:D Sure you can do better than this nexttime!!!;)

Did the kit come with CF for the spoiler?

Don't be so harsh on yourself, it's as good as anything I've ever done, I've just bought the Tamiya Evo VII WRC and the kit looks awesome, so detailed and well done, have a go at one and try and improve on your Evo VIII.

srlxy

Well,
I have the evo 7 wrc done already...
actually to say, everything just seems to go wrong with this evo 8..
I can do better then this but this car seems jinxed to me...

Ar, 1 of those day slah srlxy, everything goes wrong. Same applies to other things in life not only modeling.

Take a break and while you r at it, U'll bond to get more ideas and they'll spur you on definitely.

Then we'll see a rejuvenated srlxy again.

Anyways, that dragon isnt easy to do thats for sure. So even if the car didnt turn out the way you like it, at least you tried and to be true to yourself, thats more important.

Cheer up man!

Looks a lot better. Just think of it as an open exhaust, like a real WRC. :)

Ahh.. don't be sad bro...
It still looks good to me~
Nice Job!~

Guess take a very break and continue the Celica! :)

nice job, tell me where did you get that dragon from?
I think is the SARS :D is beside you when you build the evo8...j/k
Is your flu recovered? If you are sick, don't touch the models because there wasn't enough concentraction in your brain. Take a break, my friend....btw, supergigg is Michael, a friend of Bibendumz.

Supergigg....don't be so harsh on him, ok?

hmm...at last i see a built fujimi evo 8...looks better than its bro evo 7. well, srixy, try to slow down your speed on building cars, do not rush.

supergiggs is just joking, ignore him, his main processor in his head is always not working.....wahahaha...
