If you are using an iPhone you can open/view the image in the photos app and then screen grab the photo! That overcomes the -200 error.

50th Birthday today and got this little surprise from my wife. I now have the lunchbox in all 3 scales, just need some time to build them 😂

@lsear2905I feel multiple reaction emojis are needed! I'm sorry I feel your frustration and for admitting your stubbornness!

These two post are very helpful for me. I thought I was just going mad!

Too late for that; both the FAV and Wild One were purchased as existing runners and were in well used condition! I have also purchased a Blockhead Wild One but haven't put that together yet. Too many projects, too little time!

It’s such a fun car to drive isn’t it. I have an old Wild one and FAV that both need fixing. Must get on to that soon…

Only just saw the photos as my work VPN blocked them. Did you get them for a reasonable price? I’ve been after these for ages but not found them at anything other than silly money.

That’s VERY exciting indeed. Great work.

Yes, I totally agree. They have lots of great paint schemes and customised builds. It’s a shame the two proper releases (Wild one and hotshot) are a bit lacking in comparison. @moffman yes! I still love to have a physical book or magazine to take off the shelf and browse.

@lsear2905that is a great looking bunch of Kumamon's and their fleet! Lovely stuff. Really gutted I didn't get hold of a tractor before the prices went silly. As for the image error, on another forum I use we have had users with the same issue. For some it has been solved by resaving the images. For others it is by using the "choose files" option rather than drag and drop. Hope that helps?!

I think it's because your images are collectively too large when uploading and it's hitting a buffer error. Are you resizing images before/when you upload or just letting the forum software resize?

Today I received a nice surprise from a colleague in Japan. We’ve worked together ‘virtually’ a few times and recently we chatted about our hobbies and when I mentioned Tamiya he told me he had them as a kid but had forgotten all about it. Since then he has purchased several kits! I’ve not had a chance to look properly yet but seems like a cool little book.

I think I own 4 or 5 GF01s! The GF-02 looks interesting and I'm sure I will get one at some stage but I actually like the overall footprint of the GF-01 regardless of what scale body I am pairing the chassis with.

That looks awesome and a nice upgrade on the shocks (at least visually). Do they perform well? Where did you get the wing mirrors? I would love to get some for some of my builds but perhaps I should just scratch build… These are truly amazing. Love them!

Thanks so much. I’ve really enjoyed putting this one together. This is the radio shack donor in case you ever want to make your own: It’s a cool little RC that has 4WD and 4Wsteering but most of the electrics were missing from mine so I just got it for the shell.

So sorry to hear this news. As countless others have said already your builds have provided fun and inspiration for so many people. Please do let your son know that he is welcome here anytime. The community would love to welcome him. Love and strength to you and all your family.

I’ve seen plenty unpainted and they still look OK but it will look better painted. I’ve not yet finished mine but it’s a great body in that you can keep adding detail as much as you like.

I got given enough spare parts that I think I'm ok. I did need to buy a bag of screws though. It's actually sitting nearly finished. I just haven't got around to soldering yet.

@Tamiya1973 I have just uploaded the instruction images in your original thread. Good luck!

I have scanned and uploaded to Flickr. Click on pics for higher res images:

Yes, looks like they stripped them and then just chucked LOTS of glue in. One was so bad that the plastic cracked when I was attempting to remove the screw.

Please do tell me more… One issue I’ve had is that when removing existing screws during strip down lots of them have been glued in and so both the screws and chassis are damaged during removal.

Sorry, only just saw this. I will dig out the instructions and upload a photo tomorrow.

At least it’s a cheap mistake to make! I certainly wish they were that cheap here.
