Here They Come!

Is there a better way for a title when you write about start of the Sci-Fi Convention than with a quote from our favourite space opera? I don't think so!

The opening of the Convention is now only a few hours away and I am positively quite excited! I made a little stroll around the sims the other day and my first impression is very, very good.
You don't have to believe me though - just take a look at the pictures I received:

For my own plot at the exhibition I had a very special idea: Since I have so many large ships to show and since one already would pretty much fill the parcel, I decided to have rezzer-system instead which lets visitors pick what they want to see! Emma did - as always - a fantastic job. Not simply scripting, but scripting it in a way that it is pretty easy to set up the scenes - wonderful!


Always an impressive view: the Cerberus-Class Cruiser,

...something more peaceful: The Daedalus...


...and the mighty Prometheus-Class!

See you at the Convention! Here is your taxi to the Drow Science parcel - enjoy!


P.S. Steam-Gonk loves you all!

Gonk, gonk, goooonk!

Steam: The Hunt XI - Realms of The Deep



One of the dates in the SL-year I am looking forward the most is the Steampunk Hunt, or Steam: The Hunt, as its friends call it!

This year's theme was quite a welcome opportunity for me to do something new, since I never really delved (or dived!) into nautical things - and doing something new keeps us on our toes!

I rather quickly decided to make a small deep sea exploration submarine. It helped of course that it is a vehicle (and who knows me, knows, I love building vehicles), but they also have a natural cuteness and a quite distinctive design - and last but not least is there this famous novel about a Captain and his submarine by Jules Verne... so its hard to find a more steampunky turn to the theme really!




Another novelty is that this miniature is wearable, so it will accompany you everywhere you go - no matter how deep you dive!

Steam: The Hunt starts March 1 and will go throughout the whole Month. For more information, check out their blog.

The submarine will be available at the Drow Science Show-room (the hint is rather easy, so no worries, you will find it!).
