Gundam.Com |
|
A general-purpose Gundam site created Ben "Amuro Rei" Koshy. While its story info section is now much expanded, Gundam.Com remains best known for community services, including lively message boards and reader-rated databases of fan art and model-kit photography. Also worth checking out are the searchable Universal Century timeline, and the "Side 7" area which hosts several other fan sites. |

Newtype Asylum |

A great general-interest Gundam site compiled by Colin "Nightingale" Liu and CT "Core" Chin. Focusing on the One Year War era - namely, original Gundam, Gundam 0080, and The 08th MS Team - this ever-expanding site includes series and model reviews, heavily-illustrated commentary on the mobile suits, an awesome collection of links, and a continually-updated news page with all the latest product info. |
