Thank you to all who have chosen my assembly and paint service!
This posting will count as my definitive information rundown, while I am always ready to answer private messages with questions, I will try to be as thorough as possible here to help streamline the entire process. Please take the time to ready through this in its entirety.
PRO ASSEMBLY AND PAINT SERVICE FOR BABY GROOT: $55.00 + shipping
THE FINE PRINT - PLEASE READ!
Each Groot model is individually hand painted with care and extreme attention to detail. Included with my service is the vine and moss detail on the model - a planters pot is NOT included, but you can find a cheap one at your local craft store.
I will NOT rush through these. I understand many of you will be foremost concerned about time frame - I've been there myself, wanting an item so bad that the wait is almost painful. While I have a color pallet and routine already hammered out, I expect to be able to finish about two Groots every three days. I work my best in brief, 3-hour sessions. Anything more than that and my ADD kicks in hard and I start to get a little too anxious for such detailed work.
If anyone has a concern about waiting, please view the video in this link for my official policy on the matter: :lol

Your Groot will be a true Artisan piece. Because of it's organic design, NO TWO GROOTS will look exactly the same, although I will work hard to keep them as consistent as possible, using the same colors and techniques for each one. For organic pieces like this, I go where my hands take me. It's not a cookie-cutter process like painting a clean Iron Man helmet. I wanted this to be known because I have such a passion for this and want you to be 100% happy with what I deliver!
PAYMENTS AND SHIPPING
All payments will be due upon completion of the models. When your Groot is ready to ship, I will email you a PayPal invoice for shipping. I will ship all via USPS Priority Mail. The shipping box is fairly small and lightweight so I don't expect shipping to run more than $7/each (Domestic) so we will stick with that for a flat rate for everyone in the Continental US only. International price will vary.
PAYMENT DUE UPON COMPLETION. I don't like holding on to peoples money unless I can get an item out in a few days. Since you'll be waiting, might as well have a bit of piece of mind and pay up when I'm ready to ship. You will receive a PayPal invoice for the total plus shipping, at which time, your Groot will be shipped.

You will not need to fill in the "Tracking Number" block as that is not applicable here. This form will serve as my master record of your order and will help me keep everything organized. If you do not fill this out and submit, chances are you won't get your Groot in a timely manner as I'll have to investigate who is missing from my records. Please fill this out once you have already paid up for your Groot and committed to my service.
After a Groot is finished, he will need a few days to air out before I am comfortable sealing it up for shipping. No Groot will ship until full payment has bee received. I will work as diligently as I can, every night, but refuse to sacrifice quality for speed.
I will do my best to keep everyone updated via this thread, including full lists of everyone who I have a Groot for and information like that.
If I have left anything out that needs posted here, please let me know. I am excited to work on these for everyone!
