the final stage was to generate the Spec map from the diffuse map, the spec map i made can be seen below.

the next stage was for me to generate a Uv map and to paint the texture, the generated Map can be seen below.

Next i had to paint my textures over the top of this, the resulting diffuse map can be seen below.

the second stage was to bake the normal map for the model, a screenshot of me doing this can be seen below.

 

The normal map produced by this process can be seen below.
