The next thing you should get is a Dremel, if your serious in
your pursuit as a 3-D hacker. ;-) Second is a glue gun.

Very good idea. One comment though, I think you might find that
you'll have to change batteries quite often. If it can accomdate
C size batteries you'd be better of. Of course that depends if
you have the space and it will be a bit heavier.
