"Favor to ask in the UK....MONOLITH Designs contacting..." Topic

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could contact Monolith Designs at
(01964) 535210
anyone that is in the UK, and this is a local call, etc. I apparently dont have that on my phone plan, and dont really want to add the plan for one call, thought I would ask here.

I ordered 40 gorilla riders from Jim Bowen, and I want to make sure my order is ok, going to
Tom Young
Round Rock, Texas paid already $280. USD
I seem to can not get in any contact with Monolith designs or Jim Bowen for the past 4 weeks.

I was wondering if anyone would call and ask or see if everything is ok…I know my order was back ordered, but a email would be great…etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and again, I know this is a strange request, however, I hope someone could understand my stress. I would gladly help anyone out if I could.

Thanks,
Tom Young

And again, I paid via paypal, $280 USD for 40 – 40mm Gorilla cavalry, (no horses)no generals, just normal troops I paid on June 7th. Normally I have no problems talking to Jim via email.
Maybe he is at a few conventions, or something, and hopefully is ok.

I will call him on Monday for you.

Thank you very much, most appreciated. Please tell him I am not mad, I am just painting 42 40mm horses for those apes Im waiting on from him, and really need them…haha.

Good luck with that.
You may get some responses, but they will always be some sort of hokie-ness to them.
At least it was that way for me…
And it still took over 4 months to get an incomplete order from them, I finally gave up trying to get the rest of the order.

Ive usually had no problems from Jim. Ive ordered alot, but all of a sudden he does not answer his email. Im sure eventually I will get the order.

Phil1965,
Any luck?

It's been a while since I ordered any 40mm figures (over 6 months) but I have never had any issues with payment or the figures being delivered.

Same here, until now, but maybe they are on vacation, I know Jim comes to the US sometimes, and I also know Steve comes here too, so maybe they are away. Also, I heard Monolith was having a new website designed, maybe they are just getting ready for that..not sure.
I just want my damn dirty apes…haha.

I rang on Monday, no reply, no message facility, will try again tomorrow and get back to you.

Thanks! I really appreciate that. I guess that means, that they are out of town, which would explain things. Hopefully.

I decided to get international calling ability on my phone, so I called and left some messages.
Funny, I was looking for a email to Jim Bowen or at least another one, and Jim Bowen told me, he has nothing to do with Monolith in the past 18 monthes….
Then who is the Jim I have been emailing and ordering stuff from in the past 18 monthes, at SMssrd@aol.com, the person always signs Regards Jim.
The paypal request for the most part are paid to JimDisturbia@aol.com
So Im a bit confused..maybe there is a Jim working at Monolith Design….He never said he was Jim Bowen…I just assumed he was….
So when I got a email from Jim Bowen this morning saying he has not worked for Graven Images in 18 monthes…you can imagine my alarm and confusion….

Very strange indeed.
I left 3 messages…hopefully they will take care of it.
Im not bad mouthing Monolith or Graven Images, I like their products…and have always expected delays anything overseas..just used to it..its the lack of communication that bothers me.

wow….

tom

Tony,
Maybe you have an idea? Is there another Jim at Monolith Designs, and why would Steve be signing his Name Jim….and the person that emailed me was
jimgbowen@hotmail.com
which is the same Jim here…
jimbowenminiatures.com
He said he used to scuplt for Graven Images…..
Anyways…Im still keeping my order, and keeping my fingers crossed….
I hope there are two Jims.

one time about in 2009, I got a email from Jim saying he was comng to the US, and wanted to know if I wanted a order.
Would it be a possible auto signature on the email….why would Steve be posing as Jim…..
my head is spinning….but my orders were always filled…just this time no communication….maybe hes in the US or something.

Turns out I have not been talking to Jim all these years, but maybe a email signature of "jim" from Steve….the real Jim Bowen I found and met today via email…he is helping me out. Very nice and helpful.

So, hopefully I can get this solved now.
Anyway hopefully "Steve" will contact me later.

I rang this morning and spoke to a lady who told me that the man who ran Monolith was taking the kids to school and could I call back later, I did this and left a message and now await a reply!
I will keep you posted.

Well at least you got an actual person, that is hopeful.
Jim Bowen said he was going to call him too, probably something to do with the caster or something….
This is an adventure….
tom

Phil,
Thanks for all the help, you dont have to worry about it anymore. I have given up. I know for a fact, that he will not answer the phone.
Anyways, Thank you for your help. I put a claim in against the paypal payment.

Its a sad day…I really just wanted 40 apes, for the 40 hores I painted for them.
I guess they will be dismounted cavalry now.
