This tutorial was written by me. Any resemblance to any other tutorial is pure coincidence. Please DO NOT claim this tutorial as your own. It was written in PSP 9 but should be compatible with any version of PSP.



I am using the artwork of Elias Chatzoudis. You need a license to use this tube. You can buy the tube at CDO

I am using the PTU kit IB Elias Chatzoudis 89-1 by Ladyhawwk Designs. You can find this kit at CDO
