open a map which you want the model to appear in, place the skinned unit on the map. if you are just taking screenies of it, set the scaling value to 4 or lower.

then save the map, close WE and open winMPQ

-->File
---->Open
------>Browse to your map (yes, maps are also mpq files)
-------->Open map
---------->Click the "add" button
------------>Browse to where your .blp is located

It will prompt you to type a path directory for it.
Type the directory you retrieved it from in image extractor
(i.e Textures\HeroDemonHunter.blp you would type in Textures\)

then close winmpq, open wc3, load your map, and viola, it should be there:D .

:////BUT:////

if you still have a .tga image, open image extractor

-->File
---->Open
------>find your .tga and open it
-->File
---->Save
------>In the drop down list where it says "save as file type" or something like that, select Blizzard Image maP (.blp), type the EXACT name of the original skin, and click save. then follow the instructions above

But if you edit your map after the skin has been imported you have to import it again :D
