53 Ferrator Montoya Ferrator has many avi shapes, thus the image of him above. Ferrator writes about his exhibit at the library: Science fiction is often a utopic vision. Crisp, clean, shiny and Uber fast. I do not believe it is going to be that, not for everyone. Some people will still work for a living and their equipment is going to reflect that.
What I have built is for 54 cargo and research. I have a large carrier for the lowest bidder. George Lucas landers that will move cargo with Star Wars and oddly, and equipment planet side.

Woody Mcalpine 58 Woody writes, \"The Liberator (on the left page) is the name of the space ship I made; it's from a TV series from the 1980s. A builder from early beta in another grid, I prefer prims to sculpts or mesh. I build and my very talented partner Kemi Mcalpine textures everything I make. I make prims fit our Libraries raised imaginations and Kemi me. —Ray brings them to life. Its Bradbury fun to build and we build for fun. In the two years we have been in Inworldz we have built around 10 sims. Plus we have changed our own sims countless times.\" Woody and Kemi sell their wares at \"All Your Needz\" region: http://places.inworldz.com/All%20Your %20Needz/43/173/24
59 Neon Plutonium \"I have been active, on and off, in VWs for a number of years. While making no claim to the hallowed moniker of 'builder', I am inspired by the opportunity to create virtual worlds as my personal vision of the future. I briefly owned a sim in InWorldz, that featured my futuristic vision, but abandoned the build due to financial concerns. The potential opportunity to return to a 're-branded' Mainland at a lower cost intrigues me, however.
60 I am a lifelong Sci-Fi fan, and I have always wanted to create a stylized version of a 1950's era Sci-Fi Rocketship that would feature a 'realistic' interior setting that could be explored. The opening of this exhibit inspired me to finally realize that vision, however imperfectly. For a description of my build, please interact with 'Robbie the Robot' adjacent to the gangway. Thank you for visiting, enjoy the exhibit!\" When you visit Neon's Cygnus X-1, you will need to climb to 3 different levels to see the whole build.

65 Xentor Antarix (right) & Lunastra Silverweb Xentor and Lunastra work as a team and brought in many Sci Fi items they collaborated on. From Xentor and Luna: Xentor: \"Luna and I came here 3 years ago after our roleplay sim in another grid was lost.\"
66 Luna: At that point we decided to leave what Xentor called the 'sinking ship'. And we searched a week for a good place with good builder options. We found InWorldz.\" Xentor: \"The Server administration personnel here was very nice and helpful to us. And soon we found friends under the mentors here. The building options are very great too for people who want to make complex large projects like we do. A heaven for creative minds.\" On the first following two- page spread you can see three of the ships by Xentor and Lunastra. In the upper left is the Good Hope, which has an interior you can explore. In the middle is the TBS Athena and just the top of the Asteroids Game can be seen. Pick up information about their asteroids game and other parts of their builds. On the next page you see the Asteroids Game and the Gravity Glider Replicator.
