Jim Lad Posted May 14, 2013 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2013 As the Sirius is now available in kit form and is being built (or planned) by some of our members, I thought these photos may be of interest. The Ingleton model of the Sirius is in storage at the Powerhouse Museum's storage faciliy at Castle Hill (Sydney). I was able to visit the storage area this morning and take a few photos. Some of the photos aren't great as the light was pretty poor and no flash was permitted, but I thought they may be helpful for anyone building or researching the Sirius. First, some photos of the hull and deck. John DaveRow, augie, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Vadas Posted May 14, 2013 Share #3 Posted May 14, 2013 Thanks for the pics John. Anyone who would like to see more of Sirius in very high resolution click on this Link : HMS Sirius - Powerhouse Museum BTW John - was that model once in the foyer at Old Sydney Town? I remember seeing a couple of excellent (rather large) models there which initially sparked my interest in wooden ship modelling . I don't remember which ships they were.

Jim Lad Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted May 14, 2013 I've never seen it at the Town Hall. Danny. This model and the Supply used to be near the entrance of the old Tech. museum in Harris Street. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Vadas Posted October 29, 2013 Share #7 Posted October 29, 2013 No John, Demonborger was right - I DID mean "Old Sydney Town" the (now closed) theme park at Kariong .

Jim Lad Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share #8 Posted October 30, 2013 Sorry, Danny. No, I can pretty much guarantee that this model was never at Old Sydney Town. It's been part of the Powerhouse (and its predecessor the Tech Museum) collection since I was a young lad. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Vadas Posted October 30, 2013 Share #9 Posted October 30, 2013 Thank you John - I have no idea what the two ships in the foyer were, just thought it may have been Ingleton's models of Sirius and Supply "on loan". Demonborger - have a look at this link - there may be hope for a revival of Old Sydney Town yet. I hope so - I'll be one of the first visitors if it goes ahead .

Moo Posted June 5, 2014 Share #10 Posted June 5, 2014 There is another large model of the Sirius on display in a case in the foyer of the Commonwealth Dept. Health & Ageing 'Sirius Building' in Woden (suburb of Canberra). I'll have to remember to get some photos next time I'm over there.
