I estimated my cost on materials at $200.00+. But a lot of that was trial and error. So if you stream line it may be less? 3 sheets (8 x 10) of Styrene cost me around $10.00.
I used Tamiya paints, because they are the best. They spray on so thin and smooth. But for a small can it's like $5.00. I used 3 cans to paint it. Plus 2 cans of Tamiya Primer. I highly recommend Tamiya paints plus they come in all sorts of colors.
About how many sheets would "streamline" be?
