Finding Nemo

Written 21 May, 2010

Finding Nemo


A year or so ago Sweetie and I found a charming French steampunk build, with dirigibles and hanging stairways in the sky. I was poised to write about it, but then it disappeared.

Creator Sextan Shepherd has now created Nemo, a build inspired by Jules Verne. It's-- it's.

What can I say? There are STEAM-POWERED SHRIMP!!!

The build wasn't quite complete when Sweetie and I visited, but I got plenty of great photos. Here are a few.

The surface gives only a hint of what lies beneath...


A steam-powered elevator...


... transports you and your Sweetie...


...below the surface ...


... to a series of marvelous workshops...


... and laboratories...


... connected by watertight tunnels.


There are many marvelous machines...
... some of which are for sale!

Sextan makes prolific use of sculpted prims...

... and he creates his own marvelous textures, some of which are for sale at his shop. So are clocks and an orrery and two huge dirigibles.

Sextan is creating a commerical area...

... which will connect to the mines via a rail car.

If you like steampunk, or if you don't, Nemo is a must-see sim!
