This Page has photos of the two dioramas I built. The first one is of HMAS Sydney before she commenced her final battle and s she wasa after she had settled onto the ocean floor. The model’s configuration was taken from the 2015 survey of the wreck of HMAS Sydney. The second diorama is of the port of Fremantle in 1944 and includes the Dutch Shell tanker Ondina, 4 US submarines, 1 Dutch submarine and 3 British submarines, HMS Maidstone, USS Anthedon and 3 auxiliary vessels.
