Mods: If it would belong to the somewhere else, please let me know, I really wasn't sure where to put it. 
Sooo, I want to costumize some G3 Ponyville ponies and G3.5 German blindbag ponies, and since baity ones are a bit hard to come by, (especially when one has particular poses in mind) I figured, why not 3D print some? I've sent emails to a few 3d printing companies, trying to get some prices this morning. (I'm going to assume, that I'll only have the replies next week.) Unfortunatelly 3D scanning is quite expensive, so I wanted to ask, if anyone wanted to chime in, and share the costs and result.
I also want to try and make some ornaments with them, so I also want to ask the company to add some...donut shapes for...to hang them (sorry, English is my second language, and I'm not googling it), so I can make cute ornaments and charms with them.
I thought I'd bring it up here, and maybe someone would agree to share the price for the scans and/or the "hangables" since Christmas is coming up, and they could make a lovely ornament or even charms as a gift for a special pony friend, if you size them down a bit.
I'm not making any of these for this Christmas, cause I'm broke, and I have exams coming up, maybe the next one, but I thought this was the best time to bring it up. I'll only have time (and hopefully money for 3D printing) in January, and asking a bit more than a month before Christmas just seemed like a better timing, and if I can find a few people, who would be interested in splitting the cost, I could afford the scanning and model modifying part of the process now.
Currently the poses I want to have scanned are these:
-G3 Ponyville Starsong pose
-G3 Ponyville Sweetie Belle pose
-G3 Ponyville Royal Bouquet pose (technically it's called the Ponyville Rainbow Dash pose, but the lady exists in every single ponyvylle pose, so this is easier)
-G3 Ponyville Desert Rose pose
-G3.5 German blindbag stanging earth pony pose
As long as you join in, I'm happy to add other poses you request too.

There's no rush, as I said, I'm only planning to print any in January. I'm also happy to pay you for your time, as I know, that any student's time is very valuable, and I don't want to make anyone work for free.
