Update, April 13

[Deleted]

Hello everyone,
I haven't been spending much time here lately, because I have been working, working and working. I can say that there are several decal sets printed, ready to be finished, trimmed and mailed. I can also say that I am pleased with all of them. I think each and every one of you will be very happy with the decals you will receive.

I have to add that I have spent so much time working on these decals that I have bruised my tailbone in the process. This contest has become, literally, a pain in the ass. I'm doing regular doses of Advil to keep me in the chair.

I just want to assure all of you that your decals will be coming your way. Please just be patient. I have been working so hard on this contest that, frankly, I'm pretty sick of decals. Once it's done, I'm going to take some time for me. I've managed to build one model in the last year. I plan to change that. I haven't played golf in nearly three years. Hell, I haven't had a date with a woman in longer than that. I'm not looking for sympathy, just want to give you guys a little glimpse of my side of the situation. Maybe I make the job too hard for myself, but I have my own standards for my work, and if it means taking a little longer to produce the product, the quality hopefully makes up for it.

I know that several of you are just chomping at the bit to get rolling on your sontest builds. Many of the entries from overseas and those with multiple entries are done and printed. I'm going to tie into the rest and get them out as soon as possible. I'm trying to get my hours at my jobs reduced temporarily, so I can spend more time on this contest. I want the decals done more than any of you do. And they will be. But this whole process takes time. And time is a commodity that I have very little of right now. Bear with me, and I'm certain that you all will be very happy with the results.

Dan,

Don't think that we don't appreciate all the work this contest has made for you. More than the contest itself, my goal is to build my entry up to the standards of your decals, if you can imagine such a thing.

Many Thanks for the time and , more importantly, the effort you have put into this contest.
Take your time and do it the way you want it done. None of us are going away, so we'll be here when the decals are ready.
Again, Thanks.

Thanks for the update Dan.

You'll get it done, when you get it done. Get you one of those do-nut cushions to sit on. Don't make yourself nuts! Go eat at the Y, play some golf, spend some time at the 19th hole, and do a little muff diving! Smiling when I say this, I have future projects I'm going to need decals for. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Dan, your efforts have gone above and beyond the call of duty on this one. I cannot wait to see all the artwork you've put together on some beautiful builds very soon.

Keep up the great work!
