Yeah I totally agree with you about the body builder look, unfortunately 
that just seems to be what shape these suits are that I bought from Daz. I 
had a play with all the morphs and all I could get was bulging breast/pecs 
or really fat guy breasts, nothing to actually make the shirt thinner. I 
fear I may have to figure out how to edit the meshes myself...

Kind of frustrating paying for a model and not getting something that 
handles all situations, but then it's my own fault for not doing everything 
myself!

Oh, and one more thing, I made another variation of the guy in a more 
interesting pose, with his jacket billowing so his chest is a little less 
eye catching, and with a much more interesting face. You can him here:

And after doing that render I fixed the ties, but haven't got another shot 
to show you...

Though I'm going to have to stop posting WIPs 'cause I now have the main 
element of the scene and I'd like to hang onto the wow factor for when you 
see it in the IRTC :) maybe I'll just post renders with that bit removed...
