I don't remember the links, but perhaps you can find something
useful here:

http://www.moddb.com/tutorials


PS: You can also find some with Google, if you use good key words like "skinning tutorial", Bumpmaps, Normal Maps, Modding Tutorial etc.

Update II:
I started my work on translating MoT to German, shall I open a new thread for it? Is anybody interested in following my progress?

Do you have 1. Photoshop 2. The DDS Import/Export plugin?

You can find the freeware plugin at nVidia's developer site:

I also add a modified version of the female german soldier to
attachement so you can see what to do.

How did you separate the hair and the eyes into different layers?

You have to select and cut out them. But I dunno how this options
are called in English. I've got the German version of PS.

In German its called "Polygon Lasso". with this tool you select the part
of the pic you wanna cut out.

After that you select from context menü (right click!) "copy as layer" or
similar.

Then you receive the copy of what you selected before.

To Edit the colors etc. I prefer "Color Balancing", but you can also
use "Hue & Saturation".

Brightness and Contrast is often useful too...

Good luck
