Title: Nickgray7 GOW Sign
Post by: Nickgray7 on April 18, 2011, 07:11:51 PM: 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 work.

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! :fear:

Post by: Nickgray7 on September 11, 2011, 07:33:31 PM: 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?

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.

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.
