The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Cheaper / easier to use yoga mat (Ailepress has cheeeeap stuff / free shipping). Will need to paint whatever you end up with, so bear that in mind when you pick a [base] colour mat.

I think that's a case of "let your fingers do the walking" :)

You're not gonna find the right OD green or the right size squares of the grid pattern, so close enough is good enough, esp given that it's only small areas / not highly visible locations that you need to cover.

I ended up with this colour (but mine was something like US$20 landed) - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/FANGCAN-Non-Toxic-PVC-Plump-Granular-Anti-Slip-Yoga-Mat-Environmentally-Friendly-Material-Green-and-Safe/1674604291.html?
Looks ok painted.

Ended up not using it as found some Dutch army roll out of the UK.
