Was the pattern a raised grid or a sunken grid?

I found some yoga mats at Wal-Mart that should be perfect...depending on what the screen used pattern was.

The thin gridlines are recessed. Or the squares are raised, depending on your point of view. :wink:

I think Harry's page shows it best.

Hey Bob, if you verify that the material you find is accurate then please do post a link,

@ Rob. Go to Scifimilitary.com and you may still find some cigarette pouches in 2 Pat Camo which can be used on the back of the helmet.

Cheers

Darren

The yoga mats are way too thin.

A military sleeping pad is closer.

I would go with a sleeping mat or wait for the replica

on the SFM.

Hey Matt

The problem withthe replica on the SFM is that (so I understand anyway) it will only be available in conjunction with purchases of M3 armour sets.

I believe the original padding was from a Dutch army sleeping roll. I haven't seen any that match the pattern though.

Well, after looking at Harry's site, I don't think what I've found is accurate, but it is similar.

Thin yes, but too thin? From the image linked above, the padding doesn't appear to be more than a mm or two in thickness. The padding I found is praticly ready to use in that reguard.

And as far as SFM is concerned, I won't be buying from him any time soon.
