[Supa troop]

Hey Guys

anyone got any better ideas on how to achieve this please

I've done snakeskin patterns by using the plastic mesh thingies that embroiderers use. Spray paint through the mesh and you get a nice snake-scale effect.

I also just recently painted a pattern on a costume skin that turned out pretty nice:

I did it by gluing the plastic rings from a couple of beer six-packs together, putting them in a posterboard frame and using it as a stencil.

It may be a bit on the small side, but you can always look on ebay for airbrush stencils. You can find some pretty cheap.
