GIMP can add a little bit of a gloss effect by simply upping the opacity of the image. That is, making the alpha layer more opaque. But, I see that you have already put the entire texture to full opacity, so this is not an option.

I would recommend using Goblin to add the gloss effect as it does a much better job anyway. The only problem is that you are pretty limited as to what you can apply the gloss effect to, in Goblin. I am pretty sure that it will apply it to the entire torpedo, as you cannot just select the head.

I can walk you through how to do this in Goblin if you would like. Are you wanting to do this to all of the torps?
