Im looking to make a small sculpture of sushi and fake pills and am unsure how to proceed. I was thinking of creating the pills and sushi as 3d models then sending that off to a 3d printer, but this would be rather expensive as each piece of sushi has been quoted from several vendors to cost 20.00 pounds each! Ill need around 6-8 pieces of sushi.

As for the pills, my options seem to be either cheap paracetamol/cold pills from the shop, or expensive pill presses to make my own extacy style pills with those little emblems/logos on them. I was thinking I could perhaps create one pill out of clay, then sculpt my own little embem/logo on it, then make a cast out of that but have not idea what to do after the cast making. Im fairly good with my hands and 3d programs like 3ds max/blender, just dont really know how to execute this concept, any help would be appreciated!

Sorry if I'm missing this point here but.....

as far as the sushi goes could you not draw a 2d profile and get the basic shapes laser cut? this will probably be cheaper the RP. Then you can add finished touches to each one by hand thus making them slightly unique.
