Thanks, I'm working 12 Hr days at the moment, so have only managed a test-tube and pencil so far tonight, but I have 1Hr left so will try to texture... BTW The 'Faces' in groups (now i get it - cheers) is more or less same as I meant by 'selecting' [Sorry - I said - 'lighting up' ].....one UV in the 3D view and looking across to the UV editor and checking which point it is excactly on the map. I scaled my pencil up to 1000 on the Snapshot, and even then the areas(to colour?) are very small - yet my pencil is a lot bigger than I would normally do? Hmmm any ideas? Regards and thanks to all Scraggy
