Don't give in so easily.........it might look complicated at first, but once you get to know how things are done, you'll say things are dead easy.

Have a browse through the sections of the forum and start having a bit of a play with the files, etc.

And the most important thing.......ask for help if you get stuck! We were all novices at one time.

Cheers

Rubbish! Even a complete novice like me who always thought re-skinning would be beyond me was able to get a couple of re-skins uploaded. There is a lot to learn but trust me the feeling of finally getting to upload my own work was a great one.

And the reason why I did it? Because no-one was interested in re-skinning units I wanted, so what the hell, I did my own! :lol:

Have a go and you never know! :D
