It doesn't matter...you drive the heavy now. ;)

You can see that it just works as a heavy. The grill was a hunch and the brake lights just had to be there.

The "lite" version.

I don't think some elements work as well, but I think the halogen headlights are neat.

Ahh, the secrets of the trade, eh?

Honestly, in Photoshop you can create a pattern overlay and apply it to shapes. The metal in the two tanks above is from an actual photo of a metal beam I found on the Internet. Once I laid it down on the basic skin, I added a color overlay for the darker pieces and created some of the other bits.

Now the text has a gradient effect called "steel" and it's a standard within Photoshop.

@Revel - I can. Do you want the "XT"? I'm currently using the skin myself w/o the Zoon's name, but w/ the "XT" text. Looks good on the battlefield.

I made the grill. Make a solid shape, erase the gaps using the selection tool, and apply gradients and beveling for the steel and 3D look. Place the same shape underneath the grill and color it black and apply beveling.

I'll e-mail you the skin directly.

Lol, your listening to spunky again. It's called bevel. And what you do is you right click on the layer and go to blending option the on the side about half way down it should say bevel & emboss.
