Oh man, where to begin here?! Lady Jaye is my favorite Joe-femme. I think it's because she's the only one that looks like an actual real-world female military character.
I think you've done an excellent job on this custom -- except for the legs, which we've already agreed to disagree on that with your WIP. To me, the 25th legs are too skinny and not enough detail (something most 25th figures suffered from -- "smooth sculpts"). Unless you were just wanting to stick with Lady Jaye parts, I would suggest the legs from Snake Eyes v. 44 (2009). They're not as bulky as the Shocktrooper/Steel Brigade legs, but they have a good sculpt of wrinkles and folds. However, they would not be "vintage correct" with the pockets, knife, and pistol. So, it's probably a no-win situation.
Otherwise, this figure looks amazing! You did an excellent job on repainting the face. Now it makes me want to search through my 50th Lady Jaye head sculpts and try repainting one myself. Also, thanks for listing the paint colors. I am definitely going to give my custom Lady Jaye a wash in that green color and totally repaint one of the web gear that darker brown.
A little off-topic, but am I correct that the vintage ARAH Lady Jaye's power javelin is actually backward? Shouldn't the bigger tip be the front of the gun?
Can't wait to see what you do with Flint!
