To go out and buy all the supplies I used to build my recently posted Jaguar "D-Type", I would need $400. I bought TWO kits at $125 each, just for start. Aside from crazy price fluxuations, (especially on ebay), i'm not a "compare-it-with-others" price shopper. I get what I need and move on quickly. On average, most of my UBER detailed builds would cost me between $300, and $400 in supplies.Thank God that a lot of supplies out there have enough for multiple builds!
