  There is a whole site dedicated to working out how you can build a particular model using parts from other sets - [Rebrickable](http://rebrickable.com/sets/10143-1). A combination of that and Bricklink would be cheaper as you'd end up with fewer extra parts.
  
  There's also a [thread on EuroBricks](http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=76046) where someone has done what you're doing and there are some useful tips (mostly about buying as much as you can from a small number of sellers to avoid huge postage costs). [Brickset's "links" tab](http://brickset.com/sets/10143-1) is handy for more information on the set.
