What shall I reply?? How much is a MOC?? The immaterial costs are expressable
in money! But what would all the needed bricks costs, if I want to build a
second copy to give it to the Desert Express Team? There are many parts from a
live long collection in the LDX, for example the yellow antennas at the front
and end section of the engine: you need 8 in total - 4 I got out of 2 sets of
the cement mixer #6682 and 4 out of 2x Star Wars Naboo Fighter!!

And what about the blue 2x2 windows? 6 are needed - but the riding stable • #6379
just has 5 of them! This goes on with even more bricks....

So what you guess???


I am _guessing_ here, and would say scour brickbay, baylit ect first, (come up
with the rare pieces, (the antennas can be had from me for .12 each, for
example), then add in the train parts, a reasonable amount for basic bricks.

I _think_ that in the region of $1000-$1500 USD is probably right, by the time
you get the rare parts (if you cannot get them from resellers, it might be
more).

Perhaps ask Eric H. or Dan S. for answers?  Both of them have made works on
commission basis.

(and it is beautiful!)
