It may help to take the gondor soldier skin and lay it side by side with your Farimor skin and take chunks of one and place it on the other with masques.

Than resave it and it should work.

Go to help menu for photoshop and see masques, (or mask) it let's you take small chunks of a picture. You can cut and past it into another picture. You really need a photoshop tutorial before you even get to skinning.
