I've got (2), but no decals,which I really don't care. How about we just submit them even if we don't have decals? Does it really matter if you have the entry done? I know some folks didn't even start without thier decals, so I don't have a clue what to tell you with that one......
It's no big deal to wait I guess, and that seems to be the general concensus among the group. I did put a call in to Dan yesterday, but I haven't heard back from him yet. I did tell him in my message, that it didn't matter if the decals weren't done yet, we just wanted to know that he was doing alright. He's really been under the gun in the past several months, and after the health problems he had last year, I hope it hasn't come back to bite him in the a** again.....

Tim, I am really getting worried about Dan. I've sent him several emails that have gone unanswered, which is very out of character for him. If you do hear back from him, please tell him I'm very concerned about him and to get in touch with me. Thanks. Tory |

Yea. . we just need to know he is OK? Maybe a call to hospitals in the area? google search and call if they have a patient named Our Beloved DECAL DAN! ! ! ! ! !
I hope he is ok! ! ! ! and my build is getting there. . . paint and some details. Everything under the bodies are done! So it should be soon. . .planning everything goes smooth!
Let us know if you hear from him. . . does anyone live close? That can go check? He might have fallen and can't get up? Seriously!

Both of mine are at about 75%... need paint and final assembly and I need to hunt a few small accessories for one.... They are crazy, though...
I think Tim Nolan had Dan's number??? Maybe he could call him when he gets a chance and see what's up...

i never even started a build...i never got my decals. i was waiting to see what the decals looked like, what colors they were and how big there were so i could base my build off of them.
so, i was waiting for decals before i started to build...but i never got decals...so i never built anything.
so...i'm outta this one because i have nothing to enter.
i did try to e-mail dan several times just to make sure he is ok...screw the decals...lets make sure dan is ok first. to me that's more important than decals at this point.
so far...no one has heard from him...and that makes me worry.
dan is a good friend, and i wish we knew exactly what was going on.
dan...if you're out there..please let us know how you're doing...we're all worried about you.

I'm waiting on my decals too as per Dan's request. I think we can put this one on hold till Dan gets things back in order.
Check your e-mail Rob.
Family comes first as far as I'm concerned, After all, this is just a hobby.

OK then
FROM THE LIST OF ENTRANTS THAT STEVE POSTED:
Should we
a. wait
b. roll the finished and soon to be into the open showrod contest
c. punt
No offense to anyone, but if you're not in the Name Game contest, hold your comments please. We obiously have to do a little damage control here. And those that have invested time and effort so far have the right to put their 2 cents in

I'd say B... and then if Dan surfaces and others get their decals from him, We can set a new deadline to let the others catch up, and the current entrants are still eligible for the continuation of the Name Game Contest, which I'd like to see finished out 'cause I had to build a flower delivery vehicle and I'd love to have a valid reason as to WHY I built such a vehicle under my own free will......  |

I DID give Dan a call yesterday, but no reply. He's usually pretty good about calling me back, so I too am worried about his health and well being. Of course, when we last talked, he was working 3 jobs I think, so he may not be checking mail or messages! I will try again to see if he is OK, and e-mail him as well.  10pm EST Left another message......nobody home. This really sucks..  Oh,and I'm open to whatever you guys want to do. A names good enough for me,I don't have to have any decals to have fun! |

I have mine all built and still have no decals as well. I could wait some more being we all waited this far already.
It's just that if we throw in the towel on this one, we might put more hardship on Dan feeling guilty about it and he deserves the respect to finish this one up. I truly hope first off he's alright or the new printer he bought off the "bay" might have been a "dog".
If something should happen he can not finish this I would gladly help design some of the remaining ones(as well as Dan Barten I'm sure). We both have commercial art experience. Maybe some one has an Alps printer that could print them. I can make regular decals on white background but they would have to be trimmed closely. All this could be for naught and hopefully Dan pops back in and everything is alright.
I think if we create a folder now for the "Open Showrod" builds, it will take off some of the pressure on this one and get us rolling again. And yes we can have a holiday theme build as well.
Contest...Just keep them simple. put out a deadline, if you make it fine...if you don't...you don't. I liked Dans(B) idea to 3 a year at set times. Themes can always be open to discussion or vote.

Dan's still up and moving ... I stopped at one of his workplaces just now, and his co-workers told me he wasn't working there today, probably working at the 'other store'.
Could check there, but to be honest I feel a little uneasy about that as well ... when someone is 'in hiding' to heal or to deal with what life has dealt them for the moment, is it OK to find them or should you wait until they're ready to come back? My wife has a friend who periodically drops out of life for a while, then will suddenly call up and say "I'm back!" But she will also request no one try to contact her during that period she's 'away'. All people are different and deal with life's pressures differently, tho.

Well, My 2 cents worth.
I'll vote for option B, as well.
I think "Gwangiboy" ought to at least see Dan ,and let him know how we feel about him.
The heck with the decals, family comes first.
If he can gives us a report back, at least we can move on.

I agree, he needs to give a quick report on whats going to happen. We can then decide what to do from there. I personally have never dealt with him(other than giving him money for the name game), and really don't know his s.o.p.
But if he's avoiding emails, phone calls, and I think some one said that they put in an order(and paid for) other decals from him and have not heard from him, well then maybe he's getting out of the business and maybe the hobby?
But I can't speak for him, and I think others should not also. Only HE knows what he's doing and he needs to let someone know or speak for himself.
I hope people don't take this wrong and I'm not trying to be mean.....but If he chooses not to reply to query's, then I say we move on and strike this one up to experience.

Gboy, does this mean you have seen/spoken to Dan?
"Been told more"?
What does that mean?
Will the following statement sum things up?
" I HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH DKAL DAN.
HIS REAL LIFE HAS TAKEN UP ALL OF HIS TIME/MONEY/EFFORT/ INTEREST IN MODELS.
AT THIS TIME, NOBODY ELSE (WITH OR WITHOUT, AN ALPS PRINTER) CAN TAKE OVER FOR THE CONTEST, NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEIR INTENTIONS.
DAN IS SORRY, AND WILL GET BACK TO US WHEN/IF THE SITUATION CHANGES.
NO HARM IS/WAS MEANT"
That about do it?
If so, maybe that should be the final word, until Dan chooses to speak.

Guys,
I too have sent my $20 and had no decals in return. I have had my names, but I can go one of two ways with one of them depending on what Dan can come up with! Therefore, I have not started my builds yet and am waiting on the decals.
It is obvious from what little has been leeked out that Dan has some "Life Issues" at the moment that are getting in the way of the hobby so I say that we sit on things for the moment until it looks like evereyone can get their decals and the contest can take place in ALL it's glory. I think it is just too exciting to water it down, any, and the contest should go ahead as it was intended to, just not right now but at some point in the future! That is my personal opinion, for what it is worth!
Cheers,
Rick.
aka Sixwheeler.
