Hi all
I'm looking for miniatures of bussinesswomen - without guns (and bikinis). They should only be armed with cell phones and/or laptops.
Suggenstions?

Try this:

Copplestone Corporate Babes would need the guns snipping off, but that's easy enough. His not-Rosa Klebb (in the "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" range) would also be useful.
There's an unarmed suited woman in one of Foundry's "Street Violence" packs, and a few others in that range who are wearing suits and only carrying easily removed pistols.
A number of the travelling companions in Black Tree Design's "Doctor Who" range could also be of use.

This does depend a bit on what is required of a miniature for it to represent a "businesswoman".
With that caveat, some of these might work even tho none of them have a mobile phone or a laptop:
* In the Doctor Who Companion vein, Crooked Dice has "Casual" May Killan: http://www.crooked-dice.co.uk/store2.html
* Excalibur has Sculder and Mully, of which the latter would probably fit the bill (after a hand swap) but as can be seen, she comes with some "package": http://www.excalibur-miniatures.com/shop/product_info.php?language=en&products_id=270
* Hasslefree has one or two than may be suitable: http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=miniatures~non%252dcoms-%26-civilians
* Reaper has Kelly, the Corporate Assassin that should work quite well after you swap the gun for a mobile: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/business/latest/50071
* Statuesque's Havanna Grey needs a little more "polishing" to lose the robodog but the gun swap should be fairly easy: http://www.statuesqueminiatures.co.uk/online-store/havana-gray

In 28mm I'm assuming?
Black Cat Bases makes a few:

Female Civilian (http://blackcatbases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2153)
(http://blackcatbases.com/bmz_cache/e/e8b4a93699575ec9b853cbdf27c01678.image.407x550.JPG)
Agent with Cell Phone (http://blackcatbases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2660) (and a gun...)
There may be others under their Civilians and Townsfolk (http://blackcatbases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=437_457) lines (or other lines...)

www.recreationalconflict.com (http://www.recreationalconflict.com) makes four female civilians that can be armed or unarmed. Look under Lead Bones single civilians.

Thank you all for the input :)
More suggestions are welcome ::)

Copplestone do some female reporters, they have microphones but I guess those could easily be converted to cell phones. Their attire is business like.

Foundry have (or had?) some among their "Street Violence" range :-I
