WIP -Rocket Raccoon -(3 year old Daughter)-Halloween 2017(Complete)

This year the Kiddo decided she wants to be rocket raccoon!

So far

Sketched up a jet pack in Autocad cut my paper templates and transferred them to your standard eva foam floor mats


got one of those under cabinet LED puck lights and a (make your own Christmas ornament for the dome. eventually I will spray paint the dome blueish purple.
I glued rare earth magnets to the dome - the puck is already metal so I can remove the dome- turn on the light by pressing it and replace the dome.also allows for battery replacement.


Wife sewed a jump suit. This is made out of a mesh/stretchy material. very cool and flexible.



Legs will eventually be trimmed to the knee



Jet pack test fit- it will get a buckle for the waist and the Wife is sewing in velcro connections for the shoulder pads.



Paper patterns I made for the Orange bits they will eventually get sew on and the 3 grayed and weathered buckles.



More to come!

Now this is the kind of parent I want to be! love the build so far and hope to see more, curious how you'll go about the fur and mask

we are thinking we will just do a head band with ears - some face paint and make her a tail- Since she is only 3 we doubt she will put up with a mask at this age...and we also tend to have warm Octobers here so comfort is key. last year it was 89 on Halloween

Customer Review






She seems happy with it - she can swing climb and run and it's nice and cool and the pack light is pretty bright which is making Momma feel safer about Halloween night
