Thanks Geep for the help so far. I'm going to try this later today. Lastnight I got an idea from one of your other tuts.. to apply a material in the group editor. Aside from a cpl stray polys in the forearm and hand.. I didn't look closely from all angels.. this has kept the groups together. But colorful clownish look has got to go. Did check here lastnight and saw what you said about the chest touching both the shoulder n collar so I edited the groups in those areas. odeathoflife.. Kewl, I didn't know you could apply another character's poses to this. I thought poses were character/mesh specific. Outside of the one time I took a look at Judy to get a general idea of how I should go about this, I've been getting lots of practice putting together the skeleton from scratch. Can't use bones from a Daz figure at the moment coz I don't have a Daz figure. =
