Looks like a razor... nothing much more to add!

I look forward to seeing this scene progress!

What made you start with the props, and not the actual scene itself???

"Um, this isn't Mars. This is Earth."
"Earth? Earth-with-nuclear-weapons Earth?"
"Yes."

user added image as i havnt used maya for so long thought this was best way to familiarise myself, like arran has done in his scene ill model a few items then start on the scene,
the bathroom will only really be visable through the mirror, with DOF.
