Hey everyone
As you can probably already tell, I'm new here. First off, just wanna say that this site is amazing, some really creative things happening that I would love to be a part of.
So, for my first project, I've decided to make a giant COG from Gears of War in anticipation for GOW 3 this fall.

It's gonna be painted blood red with red leds, with hopefully a 2 mode led system, one being a pulseVU and the other being a glowy/watery effect.
More pics to come.
Comments and suggestions greatly appreciated.

Very nice. I like it a lot. Id make like a shadow box sort of case for it so light floods out of it.

Very nice work.

'Nother update. Nearly finished!

First off, scuffed some spots for a 'battle scarred' look.

Shiny, I know.
Next, thanks to a generous temporary donation by Mogler, It lights up even shinier!

Meh,

BOOM! There's the flavor!

Now i just gotta finish scuffing a little more and order more cathodes.
Sound reactive, FTW.

Whatcha think?

Reallly nice work, is that stainless steel? its amazing the machines they offer in school now days, back when i was in high school you would of had to bandsaw that out by hand , and pay for the material its self, and that would of been a lot of work ....lol better enjoy school cuz in the real world no company will let you waist your time on G-jobs... with there expensive machines...lol

Wow, been awhile. Now that the launch of Gears of War 3 is rapidly approaching, and the sign has been sitting collecting dust for the last couple months, I think I may try and sell it. No idea how, or for how much.

Any ideas?

Also, Hung up.

I was thinking ebay, but then I thought of shipping. It;s not exactly small, or light, or completely dull lol.
Guess I'll try craigslist, or just haul it to the launch with me and see what happens.

Kilokk · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2011, 10:46:52 PM »

well, you couldnt sell that to the company, but i think SOMEONE there would want it.

FOOKz™ · « **Reply #17 on:** September 12, 2011, 01:04:46 AM »

Well one word of advice: don't get caught soliciting your sign on gamestop property.

I wouldn't really be soliciting, more like showing it off. If someone were to offer me cash for it, so be it. Plus the guys at our GameStop are pretty chill, I honestly don't think they would mind.
