I went with the standard Farsight scheme, using lots of grey panels to break up the armour.
The shield has some extra detail, which I picked out in white, then touched up with back again.
I thought about adding weathering to the jetpack, but ultimately decided to keep the model clean. This is something of a diversion from my typical approach - for larger models I usually go with chipping and weathering.
The might ion blaster: note the additional twin-linked plasma rifles. These can actually be placed on several points, such as the shoulders, the arms, etc.
I decided to paint the head white, because there is an awful lot of red on this model. The lenses were done in the standard Farsight manner - finished off with a dot of gloss.
All in all, a great model - very Pacific Rim! The next one will be armed with a burst canon, for some variety.
