Heather MacNeil Hudson, in a modification of her Alpha Flight v2 costume. I replaced the dippy
headpiece with goggles (as I expect the comics version will soon, although I'd guess the real article will have amber
goggles...so sue me, I don't have amber paint) and painted the maple leaf properly. The base for this project was a
Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) figure. I used a glue gun to fuse all of her joints other than shoulders, having found
Sculpey problematic in my work on Guardian, above. And a good thing, too, because when I worked at curing the
Sculpey for her wristbands, legbands, shoulderpads and goggles, I discovered that the plastic used in Spider-Woman's
limbs had a rather low melting point. I eventually used this to my advantage, bending the figure's arms away from its
body so that I wouldn't have to worry about paint scraping off from fingertips sliding across the figure's legs. One detail
that doesn't really show up in the scan is that the figure's hair has yellow highlights as depicted in the comic. 1/13/98
