    ~1000 x 500 x 10mm polycarbonate for armour
    2 x ~500 x 300 x 10mm polycarbonate for bulkheads
    armour mounts
    electronics mounts

    limit switches/ feedback
comparing these with the parts I've already got leaves me with these bits to buy:
    weapon shaft 50mm DIA x ~400mm steel tube
    weapon axle 30mm DIA x 100mm steel rod
    2 x weapon pulleys 50mm DIA x 12mm aluminium
    weapon tip 100 x 50 x 10mm steel
    rope for fusee
    600 x 600 x 4mm GFRP
    armour mounts
    electronics mounts
    battery mounts
    weapon motor mounts
    limit switches/ feedback

Luckily I've got most of the bits required to get it moving.. All the mounts will probably end up being made out of polycarbonate, so no trouble there.
