I'm always a sucker for "this is the final boss" mobile suits, but the color palette for Paptimus's THE-O has always struck me as uniquely ugly. I decided I wanted to do a new palette that stuck with a yellow-gold theme, but didn't infringe too much on the nearby yellow-gold Hyaku Shiki. I'm happy with where it landed, although it took a bunch of paint jobs to get right!
The red on the tubing is red drybrush overtop of black spray paint, which I think worked out well. I simply do not have the patience or the hand eye coordination for panel lining.
A fun suit, although its girth makes it a little hard to pose. I love its big tall pope-hat head.
