PVC Pipe Mannequin Upgrade

One of the problems with PVC pipe mannequins is the empty flat upper body space. Sometimes it's not a big issue but with the one particular mask and costume we're going to be using it was a glaring problem. There are various solutions online (e.g. duct taped foam padding, pipe insulating foam tubes, chicken wire, etc.) but all seemed to require more effort than we were willing expend. So we decided to try a 16" baseball chest protector with shoulder pads that was on sale for $20 (evidently the red ones weren't popular). It worked perfectly!
