Where to get 1:20 scale grating?

The deadline for my university project is looming and one of the peices I need to complete is the floor for a removable pod.

I want to use a 1:20 scaled version of the classic metal grating (image below)

Deadline is too tight to scratch build as I am still new to model making and have a million other things to get done before hand, so can anybody shed any light on where to get some? Material isnt important as it is going to be airbrushed anyway but the style is the important factor here

Many thanks
 
Have you thought about using fluorescent lighting grids used in drop down ceilings? Different detail of course, but the same concept. It's sold at home depot and other hardware/home improvement stores.

Just noticed, you say 1/20 scale though...I guess that's why you don't want to use something like I suggested.

How about crochet/knitting grids you can get at crafts stores?
 
I´d say wing it ;) Go to the DIY and look for stretch metal or metal sheets or some wire fence that you could dip into white elmers glue to thicken it up if necessary. granted, very soft detail, but what you are looking for will definitely need to be scratch built.
1:20 is an architectural scale, so I guess it´s some presentation model?
 
thanks for the input guys. Will have to get creative by the looks of things.

And ManfromNaboo, you're right, its a presentation model for my Auto design major ;)
