Thanks for the gratings. This makes me very happy.
Here a a small List how I paint this Model:

1. clean all model parts with airbrush cleaner and water
2. undercoat with "Vallejo Acrylic-Poliurethan Primer White" in 2 thin layers (airbrush)
3. use "Blue Tack" to mask the white camouflage areas
4. paint the model with Vallejo 71.046 Pale Grey Blue (airbrush)
5. use "Blue Tack" to mask the white camouflage areas
6. paint the model with Vallejo 71.052 German Grey (airbrush)
7. remove all "Blue Tack"
5. use "Thamiya mask tape" to mask the camouflage areas of the wheels
6. paint the wheels with Black (airbrush)
7. paint all parts with Vallejo Gloss Varnish (airbrush)
8. add Decals with Decal Medium
9. paint all parts Vallejo Satin Varnish (airbrush)
10. user Filters P240 - Mig Production (brush)
11. paint all parts Vallejo Satin Varnish (airbrush)
12. make a pin wash with MIG P220 Dark Wash (brush)
13. remove to many wash with "Terpentin" (brush)
14. rework the pin was with black (brush)
15. add some chipping with black+GW Darkflash with a small sponge
16. review the chipps with the same color and a brush
17. mark the chips profile with white+Vallejo 71.046 Pale Grey Blue (brush)
16. paint all parts Vallejo Matt Varnish (airbrush)

I hope this help a little bit if someone will reproduce it!  :)

If I paint the next Vehicle I will make Images from the individual steps

Looks great!  I think the chipping on the Caiman makes sense as well, because the vehicle is being loaded onto and off of the Cormorant dropships* so often that sort of wear would be inevitable.  Likewise they are commonly deployed into urban environments, where once again paintjob damage would be inevitable.

*I've been trying to get the design of the Cormorant for months but the designer got hired onto the new Wolverine film right before he finished the design, and all his free time has been sucked into a vortex.   lol

Ah man! Well, hopefully we'll get to see it soon!

And kunzomat, thanks so much for the tips! and techniques!   I borrowed your chipping style for some Hammer Slammer's Old Crow Jeeps I am working on...

So the Caiman APC is finished   :)

(http://digital-sense.de/tpplayer/images/phocagallery/15mm/Exterminators/caimanfinish.jpg)

I have make some detail painting for the windows and lamp. and i add a little bit black pigments to the main gun.

I hope you like it.

The Infantry man mus wait a title bit because i must finish a paint job for  Khurasan Miniatures first.  :D

That is... stunning.  And I don't think the weathering is at all over done.  It's great.  The grime and muck of too many combat missions on too many planets with no time to wash and wax in between.  The dirt in the tires is a great effect I will probably steal at some point.

Rugged, beat to hell. Looks great.

Would to God I could do a 28mm version half as good.

Really lovely work, appreciate your sharing them.  I've seen so many first rate paintups of the exterminators in extreme gear that its very pleasing to know that people consider them worth the effort.

Great work on the iguana too!
