With the continuing success of PCS forces, I’ve been asked to step in and
regulate the ever-increasing amount of civilian traffic.
Meet my ship, the Magnolia! Ain’t she a beaut?

BTW, you won’t just see me. I have plenty of sheriffs and deputies. But *if* you
see me, I’ve already seen you. I’m ex-military police, and I don’t mess around.
Who am I? I’m Boss. Boss Swine, and it’s a pleasure to meet y’all.

Yee-haw. That thar is one purdy piece of PCS, pardner.
Kudos on the swoosh-factor. It’s just so slick!
As for the interior, I’ll let you know what i think when I figure out what’s
going on (it couldn’t be SNOT cabinetry...?)
The hood ornament and fins evoke a sort of Big 50’s Car to match the character,
no? Excellent.

Hrmm ... I actually signed up for a Flikr account, but it wouldn’t let me add my
own (sarcastic) note to the photo :-(

Sadly, Tom set it so that, for this specific picture, comments would not be

I set it so that any Flickr user can comment, but not add notes. Sarcastic
comments are fine :-)

Excellent ship! My favorite parts are the 2X2X2 clear slopes as windows and the
white minifig legs just past the X-pod part. Nice SNOT work all over.

Wow Spammy!!!!!! That is one fine vessel, I think the "Flying" General Lee and
the "boys" are going to have some fine trouble laying low with something like
that on their tails. The design is complex (very snotty) and pulls off these
seemingly simple lines, darn near graceful. Outstanding and interesting use of
some traditional parts used in the most bizarre ways, although totally fitting
to the design. The deliberate use of colour with the stark white is quite
effective. I only see one "HAZARD", the female fig inside should be a brunette
and have a short shorts custom paint job. (wink)

That ship is a beauty! The form, the details!
The only (visual) problem I have with it is the square-y (word?) blockiness
of the opening around the pod.
The other problem with it is, that now that I've seen it, I just can't sit
down and try to build a spaceship of my own. I don't have the parts, I don't
have the ideas, I don't have the skill...
Once again: Beautiful!

This was the toughest thing about the design. I didn't try to fight it (much). I
wanted to have wide viewports on the sides and yet have the pod/bubble be low
profile, which meant it had to be lowered and look sealed onto the ship. Using
snotted arches to conform to the circle seemed like a good idea, but that left
gaps as well.

Very nice ship. The interior is crazy.
Enough about the ship, the coolest part is Boss Swine. That’s an amazing fig
right there, great head and torso, and single-handedly the most amazingest boots
ever.
~Kevoh
PS. Amazingest is a perfectly cromulent word.

It’s like a perfect piece of spaceworthy, blueberry-striped vanilla ice cream.
Bravissimo!!!

Man that is PCS sweetness. All the things that makes PCS fun:
• schmove
hull
• greeblies
• use of new pieces
• use of pieces in new ways
• SNOT
• and...
• redneck pilots (nice boots, them made of norkskin?).
Good job California boy!

Could it be Shania *Train*, caught in Boss Swine’s Celebrity Speed Trap?
Love the boots. Those also come in tan and glow in the dark, don’t they?
Groovy cruiser, Tom.

Tom, this is teh cool! I can see how some might not agree with the use of X-Pod
here, but i think you incorporated it very well. Some clean and creative snot
here, I like the use of those hollow 2x2x2 slopes. A very curvy and sleek craft
that fits right in with PCS design ideals.
I don’t like the landing gear, but meh, it gets the job done.

Very sleek! Great use of slops and stripes. I don’t like the horns on the nose,
though... I realise it’s the concept, I just think it detracts from the
sleekness. Your call, of course.
Cheers,
