Default Request for CNC bid (1 lb. foam)

Hi everybody,

I'm doing the 3D work for someone who is prototyping an aircraft at RC scale. The fuselage I need to have machined from 1 lb. foam is about 6' 2" min length, and very simple in shape. (not looking for a Class A finish here) So, to those of you who can machine such parts, what would you expect the machining cost to be? (I can supply the file in STL or STP format.) Ideally, we'd like to do this work in the next couple of weeks. Let me know... Thanks!

The plan is to cut two (left and right) fuselage halves. Each fuselage half is 6 ft. long, 14 inches tall, and 7 inches wide.
