I am trying to place skins on a character model I created. I set my skin colors in the left pane of the Skin Editor, but I cannot seem to bring up the model itself to show up in the right pane of the Skin Editor. Any clue on how I can get the model to show up in the right pane?

Never mind. I figured it out. You must select the object while you have the Manage Skins box open, select the skin on the list, and click the Set Skin button.

yes you have to select the model first then go to skin editor
and here is the full tuto
