Nickgray7 GOW Sign
« 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.
Spaaaace!

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!  :w00t:
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:

Meh,

BOOM! There's the flavor!


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

Whatcha think?
Spaaaace!

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.
Spaaaace!

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.

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.
