building my avatar on LAN and getting to other worlds

Total noob in opengrid, be gentle with me please
I wanted to try with an avatar for sort of therapy. I also want to make models of some ancient sites. The first is pretty much on my own, but it would be nice to be able to share the models, think something like Stonehenge but where you can walk around it.
I don't understand what I need to look for in Kitely store to be able to move the avatar, clothes, textures etc from one world to another. I have set up an opensim server on my LAN unconnected to the grid, and it works fine with Firestorm. I have been able to import IARs and OARs from Linda Kellie's site and it works, but you need control of the server.
Question is, if I buy something from Kitely, can I import it into this standalone site? How would I take it into a hypergrid site, and what sort of permissions do i need to screen for? I'm not prepared to pay a subscription for anything, particularly virtual land, which is why I set up my local server , but I am perfectly happy to pay for one-offs like avatars and accessoires, and I'd be prepared to pay more not to be locked into one world.
I don't know how to build a model at this stage, but I have some experience of POVray and blender. How would I copy this model to say an opengrid world once I had built it locally? It's easy with control of my own server backend.
Finally, is it possible to take say an avatar and a building from standalone into SL? Sure there's the virtual land problem, but is it possible or would i have to start from the get go or from blender files again?
