I Am Groot! (My GOTG Groot Build)

[Hoplitespear]

Nice sculpting on that head man. More and more people go for sculpting in foam and it keeps amazing me.

I am Groot ( Feet Built. Foam over foot tall wooden boxes with shoes bolted down)

I am Groot ( Base brown on, body plates not included in photo. Letting it Dry overnight before I black wash and detail with greens to make it look "mossy")

I am Groot( Pretty much done, just needs stress testing, after I get some sleep. Con is in a couple days. The Moss texture is made by spreading glue to areas then flocking/rubbing sawdust/foam dust over it then going back to brush on green paint. I used hot glue on the EVA foam parts because it spreads to how I want but since hot glue would melt the insulation pipe unless cooled a bit first I spray glued with super 77 in those areas with insulation pipes.)

I am Groot ( So the con is done and gone and the suit has proven itself the hardest, most sweat inducing cosplay I've ever walked in. Ventilation is at an all time low in the mask so a caution to those who build the head. Put holes on the top where people won't see it if your that tall already (the suit stood at 7 feet). Overall I like how the suit turned out with how fast I rushed it the last couple weeks. I think I found a pretty good balance in proportions given my body type. )
