Rocket Raccoon Costume from Guardians of the Galaxy!!!
I made this as my son’s Halloween costume. This was my first costume build.


Some of the supplies.

Hand-painted eyes using glass beads.

The donor mask, which I used as a shell.

Sculpting new features.

Trying it on with the new nose, lips, teeth and eyes.

The fur looked more like a werewolf before it was painted.

The initial mask didn't have a back, so I added one.


After hand-painting the fur.

One of the donor guns, before paint and modifications.


The guns after paint and mods.

The donor "feet."



After handmade claws and fur.


I added real badger claws to some gloves and then covered them with fur and painted them.


The pattern for the backpack.


Backpack and shoulder pads formed using rubber mats.

I painted a plastic dome and put a light inside.




I wasn't happy with the sleeves being so wide but I ran out of time.

I used a vintage Boy Scout belt and ammo pouches for his belt.
