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!

Just bought a group of 4 cups. One white one in the bunch. Is there a food safe paint I could use to paint the other 3?

Do you have the stickers to print? There is a file with various sizes. Not for sure which one. I never printed one as my printer died and the cups are packed somewhere.

Good find Greg.
That's the file I used; printed it on white label paper [laserjet], stuck it to my mug and triple sprayed with matt varnish. Seems to be ok with [super] gentle hand washing.

Pretty sure I used stickers from the top row of the wy-wings jpg file (printed out as A4), I can double check the remaining sheet, but these were approx 8mm high by maaybee 50-55mm long (can't measure the length very well as is wrap around my cup).

I've been collecting them for a while now (several years) and I have three... The last one I got is the dirtiest.

Anyway, I have that wing file sheet on my external drive. I'll try to post it full-resolution tonight if I remember.

I was planning to try using a color printer that uses powder toner (thermal set) and placing the printed image onto the cup, and then setting it onto the plastic with a heat gun or iron.

The cup has a texture to it and a sticker (unless a die-cut) will look bad on there.

Some sort of stencil and airbrush would probably look best...

Ok here's the Finished product. Used waterslide decal paper with inkjet printer. Let it dry then sprayed a matte finish sealer. How's it look?

Thanks! Just don't know how durable it would be if it got wet. Might have to spray
a clear over it. But would you really want to drink from it then?

Well, you drink from the opposite side… (unless you’re left handed)
