Construct Armor?

[MisterWizard]

Does anyone know how to equip the golem armor in herolab? Trying to make an Iron Man style character. Thanks

This modification allows the construct to be worn like armor by its creator. So long as the creator wears it, the construct performs no independent actions, remaining under the control of the creator, and any attacks directed at the wearer first damage the construct. When a construct is destroyed while serving as armor, the wearer loses all the benefits, but regains all the hindrances until the armor is removed, which takes the same amount of time that removing breastplate armor does. If the construct is still active, the creator can order the removal of the armor with a swift action, at which point the construct leaves the creator’s space and enters a space adjacent to the creator. Donning construct armor takes a full-round action if the construct is still active. The creator cannot don a construct with this modification if the construct has been destroyed. The construct’s wearer retains his base attacks and saves. Construct armor counts as breastplate armor for purposes of determining AC, weight, Dexterity modifiers to AC, and chance of arcane spell failure.

Seems to me that the way to do this is to 1) create the construct a separate character and resolve attacks against the construct instead of your main character where appropriate, and 2) give your main character a breastplate to equip in HL whenever he suits up in the golem.
