Some say “Go big or go home!” but it takes real talent to compress something down to just a few studs and still keep it recognizable. Of course, many of the micro models we feature here aren’t so small after all, whether it’s a vast cityscape or starship.

Shannonia the beautiful

Shannon Young‘s famous microcity called Shannonia underwent a huge expansion recently, resulting in the most beautiful stage of its evolution so far, now with topographic features such as the ocean and shoreline. To appreciate the current status of the city, one ought to see the history of Shannonia and its humble beginnings. The best part is that Shannonia is still growing and is forecasted to double its size at BrickCon in October.

Defending Earth in the Endymion Starship

Check out Brickshelf user Havoc‘s impressive microscale starship called the Endymion, meant for the defense of Earth against alien attacks. Take note of the planned and non-haphazard use of colors, which in my opinion is one of the defining factors of a skilled builder. A second ship from the builder is to be announced in a few months, and we look forward to that.
