If you have followed Andrews guide you will have your comets now added to the ssystem.ini file. This file can be edited with a text editor but make sure you don't garble the syntax.

In this file you will find the entry for your comet and about half way down the entry you will see a parameter

tex_map = nomap.png

Now look in the textures folder and see all the solar system images and select one of the textures that end in .png or make your own in a drawing program and replace the nomap.png

If you want to play with the size add a line

radius=
and give a value in KM

at the moment there are no 3D images for comets.
