Landing gears, like the internet, are nothing more then a series of tubes!

Extremely true. I don't think that there is a way to explain how to make them. You'll just have to try.

I can give you two tips, though: I have a file called "Tubes" where I've drawn a few tubes (shiny bare metal, roughly painted, etc.). I copy and paste these tubes and then resize them as needed for the gears.

The second tip is about using the bevel and emboss thingie. If you have flexible tubes on your gear, just draw the path with a simple hard brush and use the B&E to give them the right shading. It's easier and more accurate this way and works very well for electrical wiring, hydraulic lines, etc...

Good work and good luck!
