I hope to start some basic modeling of this soon. As I said in the initial post I understand it is a ways off of release, but I just love working on this stuff in my free time. Not to mention I think this one will be AMAZINGLY fun to do. I plan on a mixed media piece... I will likely 3D model most of the structure (i.e. the housing, the buttons, the antenna or whatever those things sticking straight up are), but I want to add in real tape, real wire, and perhaps plastic buttons that light up. I don't want cost to get out of control but this just looks so fun to do.

As I mentioned before this may have to be a limited run. I am a one man show and so I will be doing everything myself... looking forward to the project!

Nice, was going to ask you if it was going to be 3D print or something else. I guess you can get the wood texture with 3D printing pretty good too right ?

Real tape and wire would be nice and more realistic. Light up button sounds cool, just something simple would be enough.

Please feel free to post pics of anything that would be helpful, but am I missing something somewhere when I don't see wood grain at all on the detonator? To me I assumed it was more of a metal box.

I started some rough sketches of the component parts. I think it's cool how the detonator looks entirely cobbled together... alongside the duct tape, are those rubber bands? Or is that supposed to be more wiring? I think it looks a bit too flat to be wiring but I can't say for sure.

OK sorry on closer inspection maybe you're right. I guess with Groot I must have had "wood" in mind

Here are a couple of other pics. Hard to say if wire or rubber band

Ok I figured that was what happened. All the pictures you've posted are ones I have been using as references... great shots! The second image is mirrored, however. I LOVE all the little details.

So far I am assuming these few things and a few things I have questions on..

1) I am not sure what the raised rectangular thing is supposed to be behind the two raised "antenna".
2) Whatever it is, it appears to have a small circuit board attached at each end.
3) Surrounding that raised rectangular "thing" are two thick, copper wires, with what appear to be resistors on the.
4) The box is duct taped together, haha.
5) Upon closer inspection I think the other material wrapped around the box is indeed wire, just wrapped as individual strands over and over again, thus it looks flatter.

Interested! I love your work.

Here's this image of it too. I increased the brightness on it.

Why thank you!

Wow, that image is AWESOME. It will be very helpful[emoji1]

I don't think he has a pointed finger. Which is a bit disappointing.

With a bit of luck maybe one of the fingers could be made straight for the "button press" pose.

Guess you've all seen this pic. But thought I'd post here.

Re: DON'T PUSH THIS BUTTON: Baby Groot detonator project

So I just watched the movie. These pics are not actually 100% correct. The "batteries" are missing on the front. I won't spoil it for anyone, but Doggie you're going to have to add some batteries and lights to make it extremely awesome and correct. There are many additional view angles in the film. Once the movie becomes available at home you should be able to get an exact plan.

Really great movie by the way !!! So glad I pre-ordered this 1:1 guy. They are going to sell a ton of them.

Awesome, can't wait to get more images! Where are the batteries located, exactly? I can't imagine in my mind where batteries would fit but obviously I haven't seen it yet!
