Anybody have any thoughts on weapons? (Buy versus build)

I think airsoft is by far the cheapest & easiest route.

I stumbled on some excellent fan art that I am combining with the photo you posted, as well as some actual art from later comics. What I think will be the hardest thing for me is figuring out how to make that trademark power javelin. (Edited to say: I am planning on purchasing the 25th Anniversary Lady Jaye action figure to have a template for the weapon...)

oh, and I am not wearing the hat. There are versions of her with slightly longer hair...my plan is to take in a pic before the con and have them match it. I am going all out for this one.

I have no doubt that better will be done... None at all!

Mistress, OD/Green Flight suit (with the top altered for curves), brown/khaki Alice Pack harness, sidearm holster & belt, black combat boots, black leather driving gloves, black ball cap, crossbow with scope & strap, pistol, and if you go all out a modified fake uzi with RPG and Laser Pike on the ends for the power javelin. happy
