Firstly, let me just say that I am ecstatic that someone is trying to mold
this element this way -- it was on my "to do" list but I am still getting my
feet wet with LDraw DAT elements, so whatever...

I would recommend three things right off: the curve past the shoulders
should occur closer to the shoulders, some of the shapes seem to be hard
coded grey, and the cape should generally flare out in a soft parabola
rather than straight up and down (although I well understand why you did
this).  Consider making alterations with a minifigure that is wearing the
"skirt" slope (a 2x2x2 slope) in mind.  The current cape cuts into such a
slope, and no matter what it looks like, it shouldn't do that (strictly my
opinion).

I hope this part posts correctly. There are a few lines that are long, I couldn't get LDAO to round to 3 digits. Since there was some discussion about this part, I will release what I have made.
