This is the best kind of army building. I've never understood your fascination with "Multilpe Men", as you call it, but these customs rock!
Thanks muchacho! Ever since I got a bunch of "All new, all different" X-Factor back issues way back in the mid 90's, I've always loved the Madrox character, especially as written by Peter David (Quesada's art helped too...).

Every group needs a leader and that is what the original uniform Mulitple Man is there for.
I liked these guys before. I like them a little more now. I would like to see a more comic lighter green for the new guy though. Olive drab makes him look more military than superhero.
I thought of that for like 5 minutes. One of the things I love about these is the total playability. Without having to paint the base body I don't have to worry about paint on the joints. Plus, I sort of like how the more muted green is less gaudy and more real world.

billy stop reading wolverine for like half a minute and get the Madrox trade.
Definately. My wife has been picking me up the new X-Factor trades from Amazon, and they have been some good reading. Peter David is the only person that can write good Multiple Man stories.

Any plans on a Legacy Virus MM, a dupe-absorbing MM, or a baby-dupe-absorbing MM?

http://www.joecustoms.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=15047&hilit=famous+coversI've got Legacy Virus covered. And if you look close in the picture above, I started painting a new head for a 5th trench coat Madrox, since I found that I have one last Endor trench to use. After that, I imagine I will do a modern one in the t-shirt and be done with these.

i'd really like to see you do a 'modern' take on him -- from the current x-force,
with the 'M' on the eye & all -
Thanks, bro! Hmm. As mentioned above, I have only been following the trades, and even with those, I am way behind up to speed. He's in the new X-Force now? I hope that hasn't jacked up my X-Factor...
I'll have to look it up. I hadn't been aware that they were giving out the 'M' eye tattoo from the Bishop future.

Very nice! Simple but effective customs are always my favorites.
Not my favorite character, but the appeal of army building a single guy is definately there.
Thanks again!
Yes, simple but effective customs are great for getting back into the swing of things. I had been in a creative dry spot for a few weeks, but getting this 4th blue and the green one together were pretty simple, but with very satisfying results, and it's kicked me into gear to finish a couple of others, and I even had a flash of what I hope is genius for one of my 007 dilemas last night too
