3D scanning services?

[LOBBS]

Has anyone had any luck in finding companies that offer 3D scanning services for hobbyists like us? As much as I'd love to have a quality scanner it's not been in the hobby budget as of yet. I've got several projects in limbo where being able to scan kit bodies and parts, bring them into CAD to modify and then 3D print the custom parts would get things moving again. I have a hobby license of Solidworks at home and a 3D printer that I'd love to be putting to good use for such things

I've been wondering about this, also, but have not contacted anyone about it. I just did a search for 3D scanning services and found this: Hire Freelancers & Find Freelance Jobs Online | Freelancer . I did a search at this site for a freelancer to do a high quality scan of a model car body and produce a stl file; the information from this site indicated that it could be done for $15-25 per hour; which sounds very doable to me. I have used freelancer sites previously to design bodies for me; most recently to design my Chrysler Norseman model. Check it out it WIP - model cars.
