I'm bored to tears and it's raining all day so I made myself useful. This is a combination of a Vault 101 Jumpsuit, a coat from Merc Cruiser Outfit and a metal piece from the Leather Armor. Female version was a pain to make but I did it.
It took me a lifetime to reduce clipping from thighs to minimum but it's still clipping when you crouch and the area above the waist was killing me untill I fixed it.
If I look at the bright side, I learned some things about rigging and I always thought making armor mashups was difficult but it isn't.
So, should I upload it or not? And what do you think about it? I personally think it's crap but hearing an opinion from someone else is always a good thing.

Ha! Christ, that's how I unwind sometimes, crazy as it sounds. Come home from work, have an idea in my head, and throw it out.
Luckily, most of those projects are just for a single pic or two, no plan on release, so I don't worry about it. A few random clipping spots can just be massaged out in the pic's post-edit.
At some point, I think you just have to accept that you could spend another 5 hours changing the weight-paint value from 85-65 and then re-exporting, but no one other than yourself is probably ever going to notice the difference.
As for tutorials, I used none. I already knew how to use Blender and it didn't take long for me to figure out the rest so I didn't need any. There is a tutorial on how to make armor mashups by Quetzlsacatanango (that's a tough name to write) on Nexus Wiki. The guy makes good stuff and his tutorial is for someone who already knows how to use Blender and NifSkope.
By the way, if you could possibly send me any tutorials or links you used to help learn rigging and armor mash-ups, it'd be great if you could send me them.
Sometimes I hate modding this game but I just can't stop. There's something wrong with me.
@hanchiman I never played Fallout 1 or 2 although I wanted to. And seeing that not many outfits on the nexus are vault suits (except for the Armored vault suit retexures) I thought I could make one. I mean, the lone wanderer spent his entire life wearing a 101 jumpsuit and even got out wearing it. If I was him/her, I'd just put something on it and carry it still (nostalgia).
I'll upload it tomorow, gotta go to work so I don't even have time to write a description. I hate real life.
I really like the idea of expanding the variety of modified Vault Suits. Before Fallout 3, I always imagined my character wearing a leather armor or duster in their vault 13 suit.
(although, if I think about it, I doubt a proper lady would wear That dress at all.
This is a nice combo, though. It's amazing how much difference you can make in an outfit simply by utilizing vanilla resources in a different fashion, or combining them together in some way.
