Hello everyone, My name is Martyn and I'm building a prop for a friend's costume. He's dressing up as Isaac fron the Dead Space games and I'm making the Plasma Cutter weapon for him. This is the big bucks replica that you can buy-

but I'm building from scratch and obviously I want to put 3 blue lasers in instead of the LEDs.
I really need some advice from you guys about how to do this, please.
Ideally the beams need to be blue BUT I could go for violet or (if need be) green :undecided:
They need to be as visible as possible in daylight/lowlight as the expo won't have any smoke.
Also it would be great if they were visible from side on to the prop.
They need to be about 3mm to 6mm wide which (from what I've been reading on here) may require some lenses to widen a standard beam.
The individual lasers don't need to 'shine' more than 12 feet further than the prop, nor do they need to project a pin-sharp point on a surface. If the beam can be altered to provide the side on visibility then that is the more important thing.
Any advice that you guys have would be most apreciated and I know that I'm asking for the moon on a stick.
