Caboose vs Grif

Hiya! This will be a thread for the progress of my Groot suit for NYCC 2014. I started this build about 2 weeks ago after seeing some amazing Groot costumes all over Facebook. This build will be all EVA and Pipe Insulation foam just hot-glued to an under suit. I will be making some makeshift stilts for this costume as well. In total, I will only be about 6'7" in the suit because I am only 5'3" and if I built the stilts too tall I could fall over easily. Here is my progress so far on the suit:
The eyes won't be blue, but I had some old sunglasses on hand and I wanted to see what it would look like with the lenses. The suit will be given a texture with tissue paper and tacky glue after I clean up some of the edges. After that it will be painted the correct colors and I will add in some twigs, vines, and moss. To top it off, I plan on buying the Rocket Raccoon plush and mounting it onto the shoulder of the costume Let me know what you think!
