Guardians of the Galaxy. Groot

[Tripleasg]

I imagine this post should be under Marvel characters, popular franchises. I could not get Tapatalk to find that category for me.

About two weeks ago, I was approached by a local movie theater chain, Harkins theaters. They asked if I could put a team together to help promote the new movie. They asked for several of the characters.

The local talent here in Phoenix Arizona is incredible! I easily found Gomorrah, Star Lord, and even Rocket Raccoon! I have yet to find Drax. I started my build on Groot.


It is designed to fit a person about 6 foot to six-foot four. When it is finished from top to bottom the character will measure 7 1/2 feet tall.

I will continue to post pictures as the work progresses.

freaking awesome, I am glad people are starting to work on these because I have to dress up my whole family next year and people are doing such great things with the guardians of the galaxy costumes. The skill level is impressive.

That is an incredible looking Groot! I love the fine detail on all of the bark. What did you use to make it?

I'm really wanting to put a Groot cosplay together myself for Phoenix Comicon next year, so any build tips would be greatly appreciated.
