Scarlett’s Saturday Special

Sorry about the late entry for this week’s offering……..but hey, better late than never!!!

This week I decided to honor Super Bowl XLIV by showcasing two very *themed* characters.

From ‘SNAKE_EYES1975′ we have, Captain Grid Iron

And in the spirit of ‘fair play’, I encourage everyone to also check out ‘Dreadnok Dread’s offering of The Fridge

Both of these customs are winners in my book………but who’d win in a Super Bowl showdown??!?? ;)

Its never easy to choose from all the custom goodness, but I think that everyone will agree this week’s spotlight special shows us that “there’s no *I* in team”. ‘madmac41′ recently revealed his ‘MAD Squad’
