That is one AWESOME Recoil! Is the backpack a heavily modified pte radio pack? It looks bigger for some reason.

Nope, it is a heavily modified POC snowjob backpack.

I like how the camo isn't blocky but is still somehow reminiscent. Excellent execution on a lot of original ideas for this one. I love it.

Impressive work, especially on the backpack (I love the inclusion of the original claymore carrier). I'm curious though; you changed the camouflage pattern, the base shade of his uniform and his weapons for more appropriate alternatives, so what made you decide to keep the brown jackboots?

Good questions Cadpat. My customizing style is pretty much I take the original ARAH design and tweak it just enough to modernize it and still keep the figure looking like the original. The jack boots just like Recoils cover are trademark looks to him, I figured going the next shade darker on his base fatigue color would not be that big of a change, and like another tanker noticed I may have not kept the straight edged " block " camo pattern, I did stay close to its style with small camp patterns in the darker shade of green. As for his rifle, I kept the M203 grenade launcher but updated it from a M-16A2 to an M4 design, keeping out the top mounted bayonet, mainly because that was a personal change, never made sense to me why you would top mount a bayonet, I understand so not to be in the way of the grenade launcher, so now it's throwing off the sights, so I did away with it all together.
