I loved loved loved Guardians of the Galaxy...like everyone else.
I started making a groot mask out of eva foam but became side tracked and didn't complete it... I managed to get there in the end and kind of documented it as i went along...
not sure if i'm gonna build a whole suit? i'll see how enthusiastic I am after the release of the Blu ray.
I made it from one square of the EVA 10mm foam. a heat gun, knife, dremel and hot glue was everything i used to get the shape.
the twists and overlaps etc i made by cutting brunch like strips and simply overlapping them, it gave them a kind of narly look, i don't have the skill to carve them all out with the dremel.
the eyes are just brown sunglass lenses...
I don't know how to paint and dreaded doing it cause i don't know how, thats why it took me about 3 months to finish it.
I pretty much just guessed my way there,
heres what i did.
first i spray painted it all brown (it was too dark, almost black) i then used acrylic paints with a brush and went over it all with a light brown colour, i added some yellowish and redish browns and green for the mossy areas...
on top of his head i cut the foam into strips and heated and twisted them with the heat gun, it was an easy way to get good shapes, i glued that to the top, i wasn't too worried about making it look great as most would be covered in moss later
all that was left was to add a little dark grey for shading and glue moss that i bought from a train/hobby store and glue in the eyes.
hope I finish a full suit... probably like most of us we are working on too many things at once
