Thanks for these Obelix, but some constructive criticism if you don't mind?

 

These are made using a very outdated and substantially wrong template I created years ago from the original 2K template.  The new official Vb template has many fixes and improvements on panel, screws and rivet layout as well as other details.  This means many lines and rivets on your skins will not match the newer and more histocrically acurate version of the normalmap.

 

Like I said, just a heads-up.
