Judge Fear - shoulder pad padding

Been having a think on how i can make Judge Fear's shoulder pads sit a lot higher than they naturally do and i think i've cracked it.
I've experimented with rolling up lengths of Bubblewrap to the right thickness and, when happy they're the right size to hold the shoulder pads in the right place, i've covered them with Duct Tape.
I'll be Velcoing them to the bodysuit, the cape placed over them, and the shoulder pads Vecroed to the cape.
