Trailer looks good and the show has a great cast. I have made these models and finished props available here:

I modelled the bullet from the trailer:


Still looking for this illuminated keychain:

Still adjusting small details on this, but I think that I have the size and scale correct. My tongs are not to scale

That white helmet in the trailer looks a lot like the ones from 2001 Seems like a good series.

Again, you’re on it quickly! This looks fantastic. It will be neat to see how you design the internals for the keychain device as well, and if it’s anything like your work on the brain-chip from Severance it will be stellar!

I wasn't satisfied with the look of the fins on both end pieces, and I tried a number of different mods to them before landing on my final print. Here is the final piece painted with and without weathering:

 

[Leinads]

Nice! I think one with weathering is more representative of the screenshot? Both look great!

I think that they may have had a couple of different hero pieces for the shot. Or, this trailer was cobbled together using more than one scene. The implant (I no longer think that this is a bullet) that the doctor holds up in his tongs looks pretty clean. The one that is dropped on the metal tray is weathered. I’m now thinking that the weathering is just a lot of blood. Will be making another soon.

The books are great. This looks good.

Thanks, Cam!

I just finished Wool this morning and I loved it. Lots of surprise twists and turns, great characters, solid storyline. Excited to start Shift this weekend. I'm really hoping Apple does a good job with this story like they did Severance.

First coat of blood applied. Tuesday I'll apply Blood for the Blood God acrylic to this and finish it up.

 

[Leinads]

oooh nice wet work there!

oooh nice wet work there!

Thanks! This coat was tamiya clear red. Gives it a watered down and wet fluid look. The citadel blood god paint will provide the bright red tones. It will also produce a dark and dried blood look when mixed with dark brown.

We do not know why there is no life outside this silo. We only know that here is safe. And there is not

Working on Bernard's necklace:

 

[ssdesigner]

New featurette released so we get a perfect look at the logo (YES!) So the ring of 12 people has been updated. Working on the connecting pieces now.

 

[ssdesigner]

All ready to print this thing up over the weekend.

 

[ssdesigner]

Many people wear different versions of this logo in pin or necklace form so I think that this is a way to show rank or hierarchy in the silo. I will be working on any/all of the pins etc. that I can see on screen.

Tim Robbins (Bernard) is the lead person in charge, so his is the most elaborate. I also noticed that there is one more slightly different logo on Bernard's necklace at the very bottom. It's what I believe to be the official silo insignia as it is seen on many things in the trailers and featurettes. Now I just need to connect the last piece to the rest and it will be ready to print.

 

[ssdesigner]

First prints of the Mayor's brooch (larger pin) and Bernard's lapel pin. Going to make a version of each with both magnets and pinch pins for wearing. Should have painted and finished pieces this weekend to show.

 

[ssdesigner]

Both pin backer and magnet backer of the brooch are painted and drying. Tomorrow I'll give them a few coats of black wash and a little dry brushing to bring out depth in the grooves. The smaller lapel is primed and I'm waiting for some brass/bronze paint to arrive tomorrow.

 

[ssdesigner]

Very happy with this one. Final paint coat was a water was and dry brush combo with Tamiya dark grey. Pinch pin backer or magnet backer both look very nice.
