Welcome From The Regional Coordinator!
Hello and welcome to the awesome Region Three Web Site. I say
awesome because I didn't do it so be thankful of that because if
I had it wouldn't work. Special Thanks to Chris Mobley for
cooking up this little gem. I want this site to be an aide to
modelers, not another place to complain about modelers or
models. I suspect that many of you are like me and just don't
have the time or inclination to suffer through another site that
is more or less a complaint department. We'll have a listiing
of shows in Region Three that all the membership can access.
Later, we can expand to have modeling reviews and tips but for
right now, look here for a listing of events. We would like to
list all the clubs, their meeting times and places for newbies
to locate other modelers in their area. We have links to the
IPMS/USA Site that will be an aide to most of you. Just like a
baby, we are starting slow but when we get going, hang on for
dear life. Welcome again and if you have any suggestions call
me at 1-800-whocares or email me at
kimphilhale@bellsouth.net. Obivously, I'd rather have an
email. Take care and God bless!

June 30,2008:
Hello Region Three
I hope all of you had a wonderful and safe Fourth of July
weekend. Just a note about the recent show in Atlanta.
Hats off to James Corley and his guys for another great
show. I believe they told me that they had over 560 models
and had sold 100 plus vendor tables. Great job guys.
Now introducing a new concept in regional newsletters: The
Adventures of Kaptain Koordinator and his trusty sidekick
Roxie the Kat. In our premier episode, we find meek mild
mannered Philemon Hallis working feverously on his next
modeling project. For some strange reason, Philemon is
trying to mix Tamiya liquid cement with casting resin
when the expected happens. Kaboom, Zap, Pow........screams
of agony.......and not over a ruined model. In the next
scene, we find our hero on his way to the emergency room
with his wife giving him "down the road" for being so
stupid. Philemon is treated for mnor burns on his hands but
he finds that he has lost all of the hair on his head. Not
to worry, there wasn't much in the first place. He is
released from the hospital with orders to never attempt home
chemistry again. However, many days later when Philemon
removes the bandages he finds a strange after effect. As he
removes the bandages, he is nearly blinded by the strange
glow from his now totally bald head. The strange mixture of
casting resin and Tamiya cement plus being zapped by his
work lights has mutated our hero into something even more
strange than normal. That is saying something. Quickly
replacing the bandages as not to blind anyone in his family,
Philemon retreats to his basement to explore the
possiblities of his newly found powers. Suddenly our hero
remembers that Roxie the Kat was lying on the floor close to
his workbench before the nasty accident. He wonders if
Roxie has developed some sort of super power as
well........thinking takes a lot out of Philemon as we'll
see later on.....More
