Alright chaps !

My name's Mark and after several years of typical dossing around in my youth, I did the 3 years of the 2330 and the 2391, still to do the 17th. Anyway I'm in the process of gathering up the tools I need for housebashing/mild industrial and I've cobbled together the below, which I've doubtlessly missed stuff off. Can anyone who's willing cast their eye over it please and see if there's anything I've missed ? Thanks for your help I really appreciate it :D:D
