A very impressive collection- I bet it was difficult to leave there!

Still trying to work out the signature under Jacka's?

Scott,
I think the signature below Jacka's is Corp' William Dunstan V.C , I hope SEEWHY will post to comfirm this. Yes, her collection is really something that any museum would be proud to have on display.
Cheers,
Wayne.

Thanks Wayne.

It does look like Dunstan who was one of the eight VC winners who were pall bearers at Jacka's funeral.

I have W.D Joynt VC's signature in his first memoir, but I have a feeling that he signed quite a few copies of his book which he published through his own printing company. I have seen one or two others over the years. :smile2:

Hi lads,
Been very busy. The signatures on the poster by Will Dyson are Will Dyson, John Monash, and the VC winners Albert Jacka, William Dunstan, Robert Grieve, George Ingram, and William Joynt. Monash died 8 October 1931 Have a couple of projects to complete and will think about more posts.

Hello SeeWhy,
Good to hear from you, could you please post some more pictures of your wonderful zulu dio, many have asked after it and are very interested in hearing more about it, some (Phil) were wondering also how you came by the cabinet you have it in.
Cheers,
Wayne.

Hello lads,
I replied to this yesterday but was timed out because I had too many interruptions. The Cabinet for Rorke's Drift #1 is a coffee table made from Rose gum and 6mm plate glass and a few screws. It is 2 feet by 4 feet and it was made by me to house the diorama.
Cheltenham is one of two doll houses. It is 6 feet by 4 feet had 4 floors and is fully lit with a working fireplace. It is representative of a modern era with phone computer and TV, radio and electric guitar. I made all the fireplaces, bricks, tiles bathroom and laundry furniture and a lot of the other furniture down to the agitator in the washing machine. There are cupboards underneath the dolls house to house the boxes for the people and furniture and accessories bought for it. Indeed every display I do I make accommodation for the boxes!
The other doll's house is 8 feet long and 3 feet high. It is not lit and was created hastily during a medical crisis. It is representative of an earlier period. and has a games room with portraits of Monash, Chauvel, Birdwood and Brudenell-White.
The doll houses are 1/12th size.

That coffee table is an excellent idea which at some stage i plan to steal, the idea not the coffee table, and try and replicate one with easy access so the dio's can be changed....i'll let you know how i go.
