Hi, I've just spotted your project and I'm pretty sure I can help you with it... I'm a full time modeller (game development normally), so this process comes pretty easy to me.
I work with 3DS on a daily basis, but can esily export to Solidworks without any loss to the mesh.
I'm trained as a shader/texture mapper, so I can make your models to broadcast standard, or simply provide low-poly for web distribution (if you're going down that route).
Business is quiet for the next week or so, so I would also be able to turn your project around quickly without any headaches.
Obviously your brief doesn't go into too mch depth, so I'd need to make a request for information prior to comencing, but after looking at the link you posted, I really can't see any problems.
Happy to talk on Skype if you want to discuss further. Please let me know... Although, I'm a UK supplier, so I work with GMT, so please forgive me if I don't reply staright away.
Best regards
Mark
