Like was said, the mold is around $30. The hot pot I have w/ a built in heating coil is about the same but a simple high heat tolerance pot over a camp stove works as well. Lead depends on sources. I bought a 12 pack of those wrap around weights for duck decoys on clearance a few years ago hoping to buy some dekes to go w/ them but got around to it. I pulled 3 of those last night and they half filled the pot. I've also seen people just buy the coils of pencil lead like for steelheading and drop one of those in the pot. For paint the powder stuff I use is about $6 each, but my buddy who does this bought his years ago and has yet to use more than half of any of his 3 colors. Basically for a full setup you're looking about $75, but then the cost is minimal after that. Takes a while to pay off, but over ten years I figure it'll do it. Not to mention it's kinda fun!
