Many of these sites have links to others,
so the more you hop around the more you get to see!
A truly fun little site devoted to a monthly or so online Gundam modeling contest.
You might see a work or two from this site up there…
This site has some pretty decent work, focusing mainly on 1/144
scale kits.
This is a web site dedicated to the art of Gundam modeling. It offers many things—you can view
finished models, learn techniques for modeling, visit new links, see workbenchs, and participate in one of the most active Gundam related message boards out there. Sit to be revamped in 2005.
A great all around site with Mecha,
figures, tips, very detailed buildup descriptions and some good links.
This Usenet newsgroup is a true gem; full of helpful modelers and
tons of history about Gundam/Anime in general and of course
specific news, tips and resources for Anime Modeling. Unfortunately, it is mostly dead, being
replaced by web based forums such as Hobbyfan or
Child of Mecha.
Still, Google Groups (see below) has it all archived…
Google Groups rec.arts.anime.models
An easy way to access Usenet, and search
the archives of a group.
This site focuses mainly on One Year War Series such as MSG, 0080,
08th MST etc. Lots of info.
Note: This site has been revamped
to a much more bare bones effort, but still good.
This site used to have it alll—an excellent
message board, a very complete gallery covering all Gundam
series, and an up-to-date news section. Now it appears to
be a dead site, but I’m staying hopeful.
This site has a great reference—Burke’s Mecha
Domain lineart and Mecha
reference were moved here! Excellent Forum, of the type that replace R.A.A.M.

Some outstanding screenshots galleries for the Gundam Wing modeler
This is a purely Gundam X site. It isn’t fully up, but has some nice mecha reference and line art shots.
Translation Site: Excite Japanese to English Translations
–This
site allows you to translate the Japanese web text into English! It isn’t perfect, but more than adequate to
read. Note: There are two radio buttons under the URL
entry box. If the translation doesn’t
work with the first button checked, try it with the other box checked.
Making Figures (English Site)
This site is one of the better Japanese Plamo
sites. The works shown on this page are
seen in Hobby
Another great site!
A great Sci-Fi modeling reference site with tons of cross-links
for Star Wars/Star Trek info
A very good general modeling reference. I am a moderator in the Mecha Modeling Forum—come on over and chat!
Saving one of the best for last—don’t let the tiny logo fool
you! This is one of the best Sci-Fi
sites out there, covering a huge range of Sci-Fi and Mecha
topics with a huge assortment of links, products, tips etc. Definitely a must-see!
