Oh, you're talking about just modifying existing weapons rather than
designing them from scratch. In that case I'd just triple the cost for the
first model. _If_ the character is successful, then he can build more with
a routine B/R test and the actual cost of materials. But again, if the
initial B/R test is failed then the materials and time are wasted and the
character has to start again at the begining.
