Armor Mash-up tutorials?

[TheHermit84]

Hello all,

I'm wanting to have a go at creating my own mash-up armor for Fallout New Vegas.
There are lots of armors I like, but none that I feel will suit my character completely, so I wish to try my hand at creating something using assets from several, hence mash up.

Could somebody point me in the right direction of a clean/streamline tutorial on how to create mash ups in 3DS Max?? I've tried several youtube tutorials, but they're generally outdated, hard to follow, or not useful for what I'm trying to do.

I've tried Blender in the past, but I'm not too keen on it and I couldn't get it to work correctly anyway due to all the extras needed during installation. I have 3DS max and I'd like to use that so it's not just there collecting dust.

Thank you
