My new UFO skin and screenshots of it

I am new at making skins for this game. Last night I made a map mod using the position grabber script and also editing the textures. This is my first real UFO skin. It took a while to get it done, but I like how it turned out. So it was worth the effort. I have 2 versions that I am using and I can't decide which I like more. One is using the standard pink glass and the other is using my new green glass. Well either way I am happy with the way it turned out. Here are a few screenshots of it in action:

The angle of the ship may make it look off-center in the picture, but it looks fairly centered in the game.
Finally, here is a close-up of the brain and gun area:

Thank you. I am glad someone thinks I didn't do such a bad job for my first try. I noticed in those pictures the skin wasn't quite centered. I fixed the skin and uploaded the new version that is fixed. Here is what it look like now on both sides: and

Does this forum allow people to post links to zip files? I am just asking because I know some don't. If so I might post my map mod and the skins that go with it. The mod itself isn't much. I just changed the fog color to that green you see in the picture to sort of match the sky. That took longer than expected to get a color close to what I wanted. Then I lowered the fog and made it so you could drive through it to the other side without getting killed. I wanted the fog to be slightly higher, but when it was higher I couldn't get the tanks to drive through it and still see no matter what the thickness was. At one edge there is a booster arrow and jump pad to the other side. Once on the other side there is another recharge gate and a power-up that sometimes appears over there. Then on a hill on the other side are some booster arrows on a hill to help you get back across the "pit". Other than that I just added a few trees, rocks, dragon bones, and fish bones. One set of the dragon bones can be driven through completely if you use the UFO, like a tunnel. I put a couple sets of fish and dragon bones down in the "pit" area as well. I used the 3rd lush map to make it but other than the fog the only thing I actually changed from the map was the music. I didn't take anything away from the map. I was sort of just experimenting with setting things up around the map for my first mod. The skins for the map are the ones you see in those pictures.

Thank you very much for the praise. I do appreciate it, especially since I have seen some of the work some of you have done and was impressed by those skins.Does this forum allow people to post links to zip files?
