Hi there
Looks like you've lost your alpha channel somewhere along the way. If you want, you can zip up your tga's and e-mail them to me, I can get your transparencies back for you. Should be able to do it sometime tomorrow afternoon or evening.GrizzlyMy first reskin – image 3 My first reskin – image 4

RE: my first reskin

Looks pretty darn good to me. I like the color scheme. And I would pass them along to Grizzly, he will definitely know how to fix the alpha channels for you. He's one of the best here.
If you are using tgatool2 then be careful when you resave your ace files, if it contains an alpha channel, and you will see it on the right hand side when you get ready to load it into your paint program, then you have to choose export it as Ace (alpha non DXT) to get it to save the alpha channel again.RangerWestern Maryland Railroad
