How did you remove the red from the art mitch?  Was there a trick you used or just a trucklad of patience????

Daniel, most of it was , as you say a truckload of patience. But in Arcsoft PhotoStudio that i use (came with my Canon scanner) there is, in the tool bar a thingy called the 'magic wand tool' that can be used to click on a section of colour to highlight it then i hit the delete on the keyboard to remove the selected colour etc. sometimes i was able to select large areas and remove the red this way, but some times it also removed things that weren't supposed to be removed! so there was also a fair bit of manually selecting small sections to delete the colour.

It took me THREE goes to do the chest/arms decal ( the last one i did) because of that magic wand tool removing too muct art, it removed stuff without me realising and i had to start all over again and each decal artwork took me about 6 hours each to do.. so that last one took the longest to do.. worked on practically ALL day yesterday!
