Mine has been since the start of September last year. It's getting some serious tweaking though, so it's not being neglected.

Would be nice to finish the service I started over the Christmas break. Far too much to do around the place.. Still, built a nice new workbench last night and stuck a hefty vice on it. :smt003

New bench.. Cobbled together using the remains of an internal wall we took down a few months back. Nothing fancy, but it's solid enough for what we want. Oh, and the vice was a freebee :smt003

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

He's not mentioned his longbow for ages now - but now you mention it I reckon you'd better hide-up somewhere lest he decides on a bit of target practice ....
