I also have an electro-chemical etching and stencil-making setup.

I'd need to know dimensions, materials, etc (better quote if I had an original in hand). The Dress Medallions are pretty involved pieces (and lots of pieces) and with variations in materials on composition. But I would only charge time and materials for fellow members (because I still have to pay the guys that would make them.) But i imagine it would be less than any normal business which would want to build in a profit. Cubits should be saved for fumarellos and stakes at pyramid (and maybe the occasional socialator), not for buying what should be standard issue equipment... Including for our dress medallions? Quote us prices in cubits, and we will DEFINITELY make usage of whatever services you have to offer along those lines!

I should also add: my company has a wax/resin/silicon shop (including a rotocasting machine), a cnc and manual machine shop, and investment casting in any metal. I'd be interested in helping out with prop making if anyone has masters that need to be replicated.

Hi Everyone!
I've been an avid SciFi reader since I was a child, and a BSG fan since the show first aired. I think what I liked most about the original series was its "ethos" - sadly missing in the new series (a generational thing, I guess.)
Newbie in the costuming world, but I have been collecting and building props for decades. I have an EFX Helmet and a Blaster, currently working on a gunbelt (many thanks for all the great technical help available here! It has already saved me from many potential mistakes.)
I own/operate a niche manufacturing company in Wisconsin. Hobbies include fabrication, 3D modeling (Solidworks, Blender, Poser, Daz3D) and film special effects.
Guess that is it!
Best,
Howy
