Hi all, Just having got into skinning, I have noticed some targas easier to skin than others...which is no biggie...but, some of the cars that were made when MSTS first came out before TSM and such are a real BEAR!!Case in point: I have tried now SEVERAL times to reskin the bay-window caboose by Kevin Coombs to no avail. (NOTE BEFORE I AM FLAMED: I AM NEW TO SKINNING AND IN NO WAY IMPUNE THE CABOOSE!!!)My question is, is it possible for some of the original cars and such be re-mapped to make the textures more user-friendly or is it easier to just make a car over? This is just a question, I have read MANY MANY posts on painting and such, but I don't recall if this was brought up or not. Any help/ideas appreciated!!Thanks!!

Greetings,
As far as I know it would be possible to change the texture mapping of any car. You would have to contact Kevin and as if he would be willing and has time or see if he would let you borrow the 3-D model and you could do it yourself. Hope this helps and good luck!Michael
