Over the next few weeks I will be posting a new set of Gears of War customs that I've been working on. I've been a big fan of the games since GOW was first released and still play horde in GOW2 a couple times a week. Of course, Hazel's awesome custom armor and weapons really make it possible to do these sort of builds.
I've been slowly collecting a few of Hazel's GOW pieces for awhile now, so I figured it was time for me to get the paint out and incorporate my own ideas to kind of personalize the look of the items and create some unique characters. I know a lot of others have already done Gears customs over the past couple years - for me, better late than never I guess!
Let me know what you think as the series progresses.
The Mt. Washington Cog Railway uses cog wheel locomotives to push a single car train to the top of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire. In 1985 when this photo was taken, the Cog was 100% steam powered. Now it uses biodiesel engines on most trains. It is now independent but was once part of the Boston and Maine System.
My husband just blew the third crankshaft, in seven years, on our 1925ish Model T Depot Hack. While he worked on repairs I started taking pictures. He dug these old cogs out to make things easier for me. In the end I did take some pictures of the engine he's repairing as well.

5/2024 - After returning to the base station I smelled coal smoke. Cog Railway #9 was being tested before the start of the regular season. #9 is a 1908 ALCO Manchester product.

This week I've taken a picture of a set of cogs from an old travel alarm clock :-)
I've sharpened a little, other than that and the frame it's right out of the box!
A special type of COGs. Normally during battle they stand on the front lines and use their shields to protect those behind them, even their heads are armored. The only weak spot while they are defending is their eyes. Their shoulder armor also doubles as mid-range flamethrowers, thus these COGs are useful to prevent riots from workers. Although they are also good on the offensive.

5/2024 - My second visit to the Mt. Washington Cog Railway was unfortunately a few days before steam began running for the season. Upon my arrival, the cog diesels were making moves at Marshfield Station. This engine/coach combo made for colorful combination.

Another view of this fun-to-photograph hand drill.
Subject
An old hand-drill. I keep it on my boat so that I don't have to rely on battery power in case of emergency. Hand drills have saved my bacon more than once when sailing.
Lighing
It's the Sun. Really, really bright South Florida sunshine!
Lens
SMC PENTAX-FA Macro 100mm F2.8
It's a great lens for macro work, and a darn sharp telephoto to boot.
My #pcswapas partner, Carla, made this just for me and sent all the way from Austraila. You can check her out on Instagram as @grannymaudsgirl. I am so tickled by all of her generosity and killer sewing/design skills!

I upgraded my previous COG Trooper as I totally hated those legs he had. These new legs are digitagrade, but can fold to appear like they were made for humans.
Technic panels on the back are "gliders"
Due to the leg structure the Trooper can run fast and by using the digitigrade part they can jump to extreme heights.
C&C appreciated
i know there is some great photos to be had at the cogs.... this isnt one of them... but its a start
This shot is nothing more than an experiment using the Google Nik free software download.
It's worth a try if you get the time, loving some of the vintage presets in Silver Efex pro2..
Would love to know other peoples thoughts on it?
As for the subject matter, that will be the abandoned dye works/Mill complex in Wellington, Somerset that keeps on giving.
I must have visited this place 15 times now, and still find something new everytime!
Cogs of industry.
In the early 1870's The Inveresk Railway Workshops, Launceston began work servicing steam locomotives and rolling stock.
At that point in time a railway line was in operation from Launceston to Deloraine.
The workshops were involved of every aspect associated with the maintenance and building of carriages and wagons.
The workshops remained in full operation until 1994 when the decision was made to close the facility in favour of a new facility at Newstead.
As you step inside the now defunct workshops you immediately get the overwhelming sense that all the workers have downed tools and have taken a much deserved break.
That impression is in fact the situation as the workers did lay down their tools and walked out of the workshops on its final day of operation.
Fortunately it has never been gutted or has any material been removed, it remains locked in time on that day in 1994 when the last shift whistle sounded.
The workshops now house the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, the University of Tasmania School of Visual and Performing Arts and the Royal Launceston Show Society.
