No I did not try that Dave. I am not the best with normal maps and I have had little luck finding any decent tutorials that really break them down well. So every time I have tried them I get all kinds of crappy results.

But if you want to break the process down I'll give it a try. I have given up on trying to follow normal mapping tutorials as every one I have tried is either not applicable to what I want to do or they just plane suck and leave out critical information so you waste time and get crappy results and cannot sort out why!
