Excellent work - the worn look is superb - I also like the seat cushion.

Bertl!  A few minor details?  Sure.  Whatever you say, mate.  Truly spectular.
Cheers,
Bud

It doesn't get any better than this. Very realistic.

Bertl,
   Wonderful presentation of "wear and tear" seat cushion alone deserves a medal, and the prop is magnificent; I could go on and on. Truly a work of art and, overall, an outstanding model, you should be very proud of your skills!
Cheers,
Lance

Bertl, that is probably the most realistic model of a First World War subject I have ever seen. The level of detail, the accuracy  and the finesse of finish is breathtaking!

I followed your build like so many others with complete awe. You have set a standard that I will never meet! In one of my posts I suggested a glass display case and insurance to protect your work of art and I think it is worthy of that. God forbid a speck of dust or curious hands touching it!

We await your next project! :)

I think we need a salute emoticon for you...
