well i found this on ebay and i think it is a good example of the wear and tear but its quite a small picture i found in ebay------------ even it is the TX ya can see bit of the ware and tear around the areas where it might rub together to chip though i am not sure about TK because it is hard to see the cracking picture wise on white ones

hmm how are the visibility of those at night....is it like wearing sunglasses at night....and now i got the song in my head again....wooo

True Photoshop does vector but it takes a bit more to know the function via illustrator cause some things just dont work the same (usually button managment). But yeah if I had to choose which I stuck with photoshop =) but the files can be interchangeable between em cause adobe actually cares for compatibility with all their programs. Though beware of the versions they are coming out with since i kinda like my CS2 and i hear CS3 has a built in 3D graphic modifier to help paint in 3D graphics and such so buttons and functions can change over time via future versions.

I usually get em both. I use photoshop for more of the free artist drawing type. and Illustrator for more of the vectorlized artwork. There are plenty of things you can do seperatly for both so that is why i use both. As well as if you entering for the carded stuff I say Illustrator but for the photograpic changes is photoshop. Though also it how ya learn em too. I am comfortable using photoshop a whole lot more then illustrator =) so i can sound bais if anything

=) well that works out perfectly

yeah I am also 5'5" =) and on budget so i think i would have enough skills to cut/trim it....if not go to my brother-in-law to have some pointers and or massively look at the endless tutorials here! ...(thank goodness for youtube) but i dont think it would be that bad for FX for its "supposedly" fit up to 5'6" to 6'3". Just I rather get a helmet that wont look like I have a tremendous noggin =/ *hopes to get the FX light and buy a master replica helmet* But like you ladyscout =) i would love to join the charity events as well and wearing armor doing so!

wow and yikes lol yeah i vote on getting assigned numbers cause at that point i would roll a dice and generate numbers
