Here are my kits: Multicam "official" loadout. Not based off of anything, really. I do want to get rid of the MOPC, or at least move some things around on it and make it more suited to fit me. Work In Progress PMC loudout. Lots are subject to change, including the pants and top. Still need a good b-ball cap, OD pouches, and a few other things. Gasmask because, it's a photoshoot, why not?

I really like that PMC loadout...but why no pouches? Just for the looks? Also your multicam loadout looks good except for the off-pattern pouches. Otherwise great. The one thing that bugged me though was that one of your kneepads was in a really weird position.

I agree with snarfdog, the kneepads look awkward. I can't tell it they are just too "civilian" or if it is just positioning, but something needs to change.
Is it just me, or do your Arid MARPAT bottoms look really skinny in the calf area?
On the PMC loadout, one thing that I just thought about that may look cool would be to wear the plate carrier over a t-shirt and then wear the BDU top over top of the carrier without buttoning it. I feel like that would be something to try. Other than that, throw some pouches on that rig.
Other than those few things, it all looks like it is coming together nicely.

The kneepads are Razor (scooters, rollerblades), I got them and elbow pads for $10 at Salvation Army, so they're just what I use for now. If I find some good military pads for a decent price and I have spare cash, I'll get some, but for now they work. I have the one on my left leg down because it's never used, but for a full uniform it would look off without two.
The pants are Rothco/UFC brand, so they're off colored a little and they run a bit small, I barely fit into the medium regulars I have. On the other hand, the Propper Multicam pants are large regular and I really have to synch them down so they don't fall off.
I don't have any pouches on the OD rig because, well, I don't have any OD pouches. It's likely going to be a 7.62 rig for my M14, but with the lack of money I haven't been able to get pouches. And I'm likely to just run a black t-shirt under it, but I could find it.

Good job on the multicam loadout, but what's up with the holster placement? It seems like it would be awkward to draw it.

I used to have it on a drop leg but that got uncomfortable and in the way too much, and since I don't use it much, just putting it on my PC works fine. And it's not too awkward of a draw, going for a "rifle shouldered" position straight to drawing.

What do you do as far as hydration?
Also, loving the wood stove, haven't seen one of them in quite a while.

Your kneepads look dumb, and what is that hanging of your back in the 2nd picture??

Your kneepads look dumb, and what is that hanging of your back in the 2nd picture?? I agree they do, but they're all I have and they do a damn good job of keeping my knees unhurt. What's on my back is a strobe, meant for maritime and boat use. I got it from my grandpa, and thought it might be useful for marking objectives in dark spaces. Thing's pretty durable. I have a crappy CamelBak I use in the summers for H2O, as I tend to overheat and pass out, but in the winters and cooler weather I'll just carry a water bottle in a large pouch. The woodstove is awesome. Does a much better job of heating our house than a furnace, and smells awesome. Got some pictures of the blasters: MK18 MOD 1 projectAbout 50% done, still need a RIS and crane stock, maybe a cantilever mount for the M2. Oh, and a CW flash hider. SRC G36CI like it. Needs some work on the selector mech, but it is a very nice gun, especially since they sell for around $140. Needs a magwell conversion and a battery. Not too sure what I'm going to use it for, seeing as the MK18 will be CQB. Maybe it'll be a loaner gun. CYMA/AGM M14Needs a front sight, charging handle, dust cover, internal work, and magazines. Definitely a project that'll be on the backburner for a while. Tokyo Marui G17I'm very surprised at how well this works, especially off of propane. Had to replace a few parts with Guarder steel replacements (trigger bar, mag catch), but other than that it's a solid little gun.

My suggestions:
1. Add a hydration carrier to the rear of your PC. It's always nice to have water on the field.
2. Lose the pouches on the rear of the carrier (radio pouch, grenade pouch, ACU magazine pouch). Putting a radio on the back of a PC is pretty common to see, but what happens if you need to adjust volume mid-game or even hop channels? Unless you've got a buddy right there it's going to be hard to pull that radio out and adjust it. Stash it towards the front/side on the L or R of the PC so you can actually reach it.
3. Relocate your large sustainment pouch (woodland) down to your belt. I'm assuming you're using that for a dump pouch. It might be easier to dump into if you relocate it.
4. Relocate your double M4 magazine pouches to the front of PC and move your single M4 magazine pouches to the side. The singles mounted on the side will be slimmer than having the double on the side, and it's probably better to have the majority of your ammunition in an easily accessible location.
5. Get rid of that orange strobe/flash light or toss it in a pouch.
6. Personal preference, but I'd relocate the pistol to my belt. I think you're going to find that your sling is going to get tangled up in the pistol/SERPA combo when you actually have a rifle attached to it. I like to keep my upper body nice and slick so I can pull magazines up and out, and so, if I'm fumbling for a magazine, I can look down and see what I'm doing without any pouches or pieces of equipment blocking my view of my ammo.
In general, the multicam and 6094 look great.

In general, the multicam and 6094 look great. 1. A MOLLE hydration carrier is on my buy list. 2. I didn't know what to really do with all the pouches, but that does give my an idea, I'll try that out. 3. It's currently just being used as a large misc. pouch, I have an OD belt dump pouch I don't have pictured, but I'll likely end up putting the M60 pouch on the OD vest. 4. Sounds like a plan, I'll try that 5. It'll likely go in a pouch or somewhere more easily accessible. 6. I'll look into a belt SERPA mount.

I'd look into a paddle or belt SERPA mount.

Definitely look into the belt mount, the paddle breaks easily.
