Today Mandie and I met a couple of shipbuilders. We saw a ship in a store that we thought was similar to what we wanted for our project and I IMed the builder, Chase. He was very nice and interested in what we needed. After some discussion he introduced us to a master builder, Big, who was also interested. We learned a lot about ships in SL, for instance you can't really go all the way below deck because water would be in the lower deck at the same level it is outside the ship. There is no way to keep it out. Also, because avatars are about 6 to 7 feet tall, a scale model of a ship would be impossible to use inworld. Big has agreed to build us three ships for 20,000 Lindens. We will have full rights and be able to sell them to try to recoup some of our money.
