Wow EPIC like always:)

What a lot of fun, beautiful.

What a lot of fun, beautiful.

Best instalment out of all 21! :)

I am inspired, amazing work here Shannon.

I L-O-V-E it, it is so original and awesome.The cool thing about it is that it the design is so small and it can not be that easily smashed compared to other big sets. My question is were do get all your lego pieces?

Awesome.

So much detail, In such an awesome MOC! You've done such a good job! My favourite part would have to be the mountains :D Oh and congratz on MOTD ;)

the forests and mountains really are the highlights of this great micro sim city!

this is just amazing! it's all so detailed, and all the details are perfect! that waterfall is amazing! love the sea serpent! very funny!

This is absolutly stunning! I just love the mountain and the waterfall in the background of the city, it make it so realistic even if this is microscale :)

Amazing!

Ad nauseam, not ad nauseum.

This thing is HUGE! My favourite part of it would probably be the mountains, they just looks SO realistic!

Incredible!

Gah! And to think this used to fit in the palm of your hand. How big IS that thing? No wait, I'm not even gonna ask.

Go Eiffel Tower Team 3! We shoulda won. Haha anyway, I love this. It still continues to amaze me... even though it was better in real life, heh. Great job!

Thats E.P.I.C

To think this used to fit in the palm of your hand. Did you have any idea what you were getting in to?

Hey, I saw this in a recent Brick Journal. Just thought I'd let you know :)

Thanks for warning me Shannon! I mean... the full view is so awesome! The city is beautiful. By the way, I love cats. (completely unrelated XD) Cya! Keep expanding it!

It's insane how simple some things are and still look so good! Like the trees (1 cone-brick!) and the mountains. Don't know if the expo also is a contest but you make a very good change. I've never seen anything like it. But there's somthing i've found out, it is more difficult to make existing buildings then fantasy ones! Keep using your bricks like that, and good luck at the expo.

Wow this a perfect example of top notch micro-scale city building. Excellent work!

This brings a tear to my eye.

.....wow its a great peace of work i rember when it was a wee little city they grow up so fast but knowing you it will get bigger

I was admiring this the other day. Now that I've registered I have to comment here :) Awesome stuff!

It's Sim City for real!! This is epic. My favourite bit isn't even the city... it's those amazing mountains and lakes : )

OMG ... that is stunning ! ... but why stop at a meer continent, when you can rule the world (Lol) ... seriously, you should build a HUGE revolving GLOBE with Shannonia stretching from Sea to shining Sea ! ... go for it Shannon, i know you can do it. :)

Still an epic lego build indeed! I'm sure you're scheming up ways to keep building off that unfinished edge, eh? This is just too cool!!!

Wouldn't it suck if you were carrying that outside, and fell and dropped it? Wait, maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that...hope to see another expansion!

Hey Shannon, this is great, I can't wait for the full page, I have a couple questions for you, first, could you come and review my microcity, Blocktropolis? It would mean a lot to me. And second, I was wondering if I could use the design of your sunset hotel in my city, please respond. -T

I SAW IT!

AHHHHH!!!!!! HOW DID I NEGLECT TO SEE AND COMMENT ON THIS ALREADY?! Add a playboy's millionare's house on the mountains and you got something! Good day

Imagine if you began working on a minifig scale Shannonia?That would be an amazing thing to see!

I'm went to brickcon and looked EVERYWHERE and didn't see this!!!

................... ok now im only 8 so i cant go to brickcon 08 but when im 16 ill go

Shannonia is great, but I can't imagine anything better than chasing string.

i luv it sooo much. all of ur mocs r good. check out my stuff!

whoa! shannonia is growing rapidly! its great you added some more nature in this instalment and the river is great. Only one question remains: when Shannonia is at it's lifes end, WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THAT PLETHORA OF GREEN CONES?

WOW, can't wait to see it in person!

oh MAN!!mine is only like...you don't wanna' know.i'm not posting it its so small.(no bricklink for me(yet))

this takes microscale to a whole new level. i find it amazing, really.

That’s some awesome micro landscaping Shannon…but the Pearl Pagoda is still my favorite…;-)

Hey, cool. I can see my house from up here. This had better win this year. Yours ~ The Schlub.

"Don't stop till you get enough !" - Keep some space in your garden, though ... Awesome !!!

Offshore Island: Check. Awesome Mountain: Check. Dull, cookie cutter housing district: Check. You got it all, man! Try making a bridge or an oil rig next. I wish I could see this in real life.

The mountains ROCK!

Gah! Your's just keeps coming, and I've run outta plates to put Woodville on. I'll have to make an Ebay order after Christmas me thinks. Anyways, wow. The mountain paths and the lakes were brilliant, and the new skyscrapers are excellent too - Callum

Wow! Love the mountains, the undesirable mall district... and the kitty! ^^

Simply amazing Shannon! Let's hear it for urban sprawl!

well its amazing.I can't go to brickcon,(it would be amazing to feel this baby in my hands,I wanted to see t in real life forever...)its too bad,I live in a family of 11,(one moved out but that still leaves 8 kids)and I probably couldn't go....anyway,say hi to bugsy for me!....it seems every lego builder has a cat....must being the essentials.....

Inspirational indeed! Those rocks, the waterfall, the trees...everything is awesome. Can't wait to see it at BrickCon! (I already begged my parents)

That's awesome, but the kitty pic is the best one, how cute!

Wow, you cat looks just like mine. Gawd, I wish I could go to the con and see this and the other displays, [especially RAMM] but I live in FL. If I build a W4RTH0GG for my MOC-off round 3 and throw the match, I wonder if he'll go to the convention and take me a few pics. That or buy my air-fair. ~Will

It definitely looks like somewhere I would want to live. The mountains and waterfall are perfect. I can't wait to see more.

Wish I was on the west coast......... RAH!! >:(

AHH!! CATZILLA STRIKES AGAIN!! Not even the proud Shannie can save the depressing civilians of Shannonia! It's like the episode of Invader Zim, "Hamstergeddon," where a genetically alerted (and thus huge) hamster rampages the city, and all the citizens are too stupefied by its cuteness to even think of hurting it. I speculate THIS will happen to Shannonia and its awesomely made mountains and tract house addition and all the rest of the new buildings. Yep :)

You are a true madmad...

Thank you, Mr. Young, for that breathtaking teaser! Hopefully UNLIKE the movie trailers that show all the good scenes, you won't make us wallow in our poor schlubbage for a year and a half before releasing the MOC to audiences everywhere. Meanwhile, I'll be keeping an eye on Flickr, BB, and other such sites for more shots from the Con of that sweet, sweet Shantropolis. Looking SHANTASTIC!!

Oh no, not again! This shows that you're just as good at building mountains and rivers as you are with microscale buildings. Awesome work, and I look forward to whatever clever captions you'll invent this time.

Actually I think a beach side mall would be a tremendous success. Nice addition as always

You're ruining the surprise before the party starts!

I wish I could make it to some Lego fest, but I can't see that happening anytime soon so I guess that'll have to wait until I can drive. I think Shannonia is probably going to keep on expanding until it eats up your entire collection, either that or meets with an unfortunate acident.....

Excellent Work Catman!!! This is superb, worthy of the many knockoffs. Looks like you're going to have a great showing at the convention.

Truely inspirational. garth

Sweet weeping Jeebus...not again! I'll hold back on humor and a full review until the witty captions are up and running. Make sure you post a note to visitors at the Con telling them to not drool on the glass. Yours brickly, Nick

This has got to be one the coolest MOCs I've seen especially because just by using a lot of the simpler pieces like slopes and cones you've made something that is a very detailed work of art!

This is madness! This is Shannonia.

Yeah, I agree with Austin.
