Don Bose Exhibit
Next to Anne's booth was a large table exhibit for the work of Don Bose. For anyone unfortunate enough to have not met or conversed with him, Don is a true gentleman and exceptionally talented builder.
Don manned the table with a collection of his works with his wife Lil. Please pass along you best wishes to the two, for since the convention, Lil suffered a stroke and has been hospitalized. Don assured me that she is recovering, but the incident was quite difficult for him.
Lil was showing a kit that Don had built for his wife, a (-Don Weeks-) Rigby Spitfire modification. Don had a collection of aircraft that he had completed (see pics 1 & 2). Note how tightly formed the bodies are and with no suggestion of edge or gaps.
Don was particularly happy with his newest run; a collection of armor. The first group (pic 3) was of early military vehicles, with a second lot of later (see pic 4). The collection reflected fine craftsmanship and historic accuracy (see pic 5).
He was working on an old WWI tank at the booth (see pic 6). Note how the process of this kit was coming along...
