Just a thought but could you use a square prop draped using the cloth room for the main body armour ?

No not really. First don't know how to use the cloth room or dynamic cloth. I was never th sharpest nail in the bag and with age have gotten more difficult in learning new stuff. Been with poser since the release of P4 and now in 2014Pro and still so many basic functions others have mastered or at least gotten somewhat comfy using but NOT ME!  :(

If I knew how to create my own stuff i sure wouldn't be in these forums begging others to do stuff for me...would I?  :)
