FranOnTheEdge: You are kind. However, as much as I hate to say this, I have to say it is really easy. Using the advice on visiting the Lightwave site for the textures was step one; downloading the textures was step two; matching, as the previous thread suggested, color and transparency and tweaking just a little was a pretty easy step three. The model was panned by everybody I ever showed it to. It's about two years old, and it was a Wings model. What it did have was a little topography to it, so I thought would show the texture to its best advantage, and it definitely did that, I think, so that was serendipity. When I first created this model in Wings, it was a dual-purpose vehicle, a space ship and a submarine. Nobody liked it, it seems, and they all thought it was a bad design, so it was logical to send it to the scrap yard. :) This is definitely a case of "If I can do it, anybody can."
