Default Push tug boat for Second Life

Sort of a new trend in Second Life for boats has been the interest in Work boats. Recently we received a request to build a pusher tug. Apparently only pull tugs have been around. So to be the first in SL to have one I opened AC3D and got to work. Building the model is not always the hardest part. It really becomes a challenge to make it as detailed as possible and not be a prim hog in Second Life. Low poly count and still look really good. That involves lots of Reducing and merging to keep the count low to upload.

This is sometimes how it starts. The customer sends us a photo or picture like this and says build me this. LOL
