My advice is always about the same. Open one of the existing textures in a graphics application and make it a layer ABOVE the template for the P4 figure. Make the texture about 50% transparent and look how things fit onto the template. I think you'll see from this how you would begin to take photos or your own painted textures and make them fit the elements. If you have a decent feel for using your graphics application (like Paintshop Pro, Photopaint, Photoshop--something like these), then you will soon see how you can do this. There seem to be a variety of ways people work on these, but my feeling is that without an application that easily allows lots of layers, it would be difficult to do a very good job. Diane
