i am making a prototype with the possibility of making a hundred or so. the item is an aluminum UFO that is 5" wide and 1.5" tall. it will be 2 pieces that are glued together:

in the bottom of the base goes a simple magnet assembly that is part of a captured magnetic levitation base system a company i work with makes:

the UFO would have to have a smooth finish and look like a quality model. the problem is that pro machinists in my area love to waaaaaaay overcharge for little hobby things like this. i need a guy who does it on the side, will care about the end result, and charges tinker prices. i have no problem paying someone for their time and skill, but the unit itself will sell for $150-$200 and i can spend about 1/4 - 1/2 of that on the disc only. it would probably be a limited run.

i would like to add the UFO to the list of items i will be selling like the:

and a few other things like business card holders and video game related stuff. it would be super cool to see such an iconic disc in UFOlogy perfectly hovering 1.5" over the mirror finished stainless steel base lit up with 8 LEDs. i know it's an odd request - but i know alot of you are hobbyists and a few of you machine your own stuff. PM me for further details and thanks in advance...

[edit] I do not do CAD design (i'm a photographer lol) but i can do Photoshop-type stuff. i will be more than happy to have someone make this in CAD or convert the DXF/DWG file that i have of the UFO. the end result would look something like this 2-piece design with the black parts milled out:
