i have managed to texture the turtle partially this morning the colours are just so i could identify what each section looked like once i applied the texture to the model.

i think i may have a problem once i come to uvw map it as the texture segments stop and change abruptly but if the map is smooth and flows with the shape of the turtle i hope its not noticable

for the stamp i am going to have a coral reef in the back ground as this is the turtles habitat
