Layman's Gunpla Guide - Recommended Sites

There are a lot of great sites out there.

News:

Ngee Khiong A no frills blog with lots of updates on models and merchandise coming out of Japan. Heavy emphasis on Gundam and other mecha series.

Reviews:

Dalong - This Korean site has detailed photos and reviews of nearly every Gundam (and some other mecha series') models out there. Shows how the kits looks right out of the box, accessories and all.

Guides:

Danny Choo's Gundam Modeling Tutorial - A fantastic one page tutorial that covers everything you need to know to put together a great looking kit.

FitchenFoo's Guides - [ expired link :( ] FitchenFoo used to have a bunch of great advanced tutorials all linked from a central page. That page is apparently MIA but the guides are still there, somewhere.

Miscellaneous Information:

Translated Model Kit Color Guides - Most gunpla manuals include a little listing of paint ratios for an optimal color match. Unfortunately, they're in Japanese... fortunately, Mech 9 has some translations.

For a list of stores check out Buying Kits & Their Levels

I know that this link says 404 but it is FichtenFoo's website. Also from this link you can find his "Building Gundam Models" and a very information "Airbrushing Tutorial".

Keep up the good info!

There used to be a better jump page

He used to have a page that had links to his different tutorials in a much easier (and organized) manner. :(
