Tamiya Flakpanzer Gepard 1/35

Hi there,

I just started with modelbuilding so this is my first model ever... It's probably very bad but hey it's a start
It's the Tamiya Flakpanzer Gepard 1/35




I painted the model with Tamiya olive drab paint and used a brush. I'm thinking about doing some effects or something but don't know what to do exactly... Do you guys have some tips and tricks? And another question do you normally paint a base coat first or something?

Greets,

Bob

That's great work for your first crack at modelling - Excellent mate

I've just finished a build of this myself. It's an awesome kit and will probably buy another one. Check out my portfolio for my finsihed result

Haha looks way better :p How did you do the dust effect? And what I don't understand is how to do the antenna's...
