|  Skins Design Tool
Just entering the world of bodiless and using skins. I want to make my own, but struggle with finding a descent tool or program to use. I do not have a Mac, so I an somewhat limited. Any suggestions shy of paying my cousin in law to design me something? Wes |

cheapest solution is,,,scan a photo copy of your side plates into your computer then use ms paint to play around with colors/schemes

I tried paint and the crappy pictures I have were too grainy. I ended up building it in A Word document, snapping a screen shot with Snagit and pasting into Publisher. I was thinking maybe an online application. Wes |

The problem is I have a custom made topper and side panels. I will check and see if how much it would cost to get one made. This is what I have so far for my roof panel. I also hope some of my favorite vendors don't mind I used their logos. Wes  |

Honestly, I use CS5 (that's Adobe Photoshop for the uninformed), I can recreate the skins at will, but I still paid Krawler Koncepts for my skins, because I don't have a plotter or the high grade vinyl, and I like to support those that support us.

Actually the vendors I wanted to buy my topper from were all out of stock, or didn't sell just the topper. So I bought some 1/8" Delrin and made my own. It is a blend of a BJ4 and Rock Hawk. So, unfortunately my bodiless vendor (me  ) didn't have an electronic template. I think I can figure something out. Maybe just need to make the stickers extra large and plan on cutting myself. Wed |
