Tanks and Casnios?

Hi Everybody,
After seeing some of the amazing new OPTs that have come out recently, it got me thinking about trying to help out again. I do 3D computer animation as a hobby using Lightwave, Poser, and Real Flow among other software. Truth be told, I'm not that good at it, but I do what I can.
Back in 2015, I thought about perhaps being able to contribute to the XWAUpgrade in some way. I looked at some of the OPTs that were not done yet, but most were too complicated I felt, until I stumbled into the very simple Pressure Tank OPT that was essentially a big propane tank in space. I brought the OPT into Lightwave and took a look and saw that it was very simple and thought I could do better.
I created a tank opt and got it working in the game and as far as I could tell at the time, everything seem to be working on it. I don't remember if I put the docking point in so it could be docked with and towed, but anyway...
When the modeling was done, I started trying to make some decent textures for it. Now, I have photoshop, and other graphic and drawing programs that are very capable, but I am no artist. Despite weeks of effort I could not get the textures to look decent.
I also took a shot at Denarie's Casino and still have the OPTs for both that I created. If anybody is interested in taking a crack at texturing them, I'll post them here.
Thanks,
