The G-FEST model team is thrilled about the new experiences we’re bringing to G-FEST 2026!

This year more than ever, we’re all about sharing skills and building community. Along with our usual panels for all levels of builders, guest interviews, and two Make & Take sessions for kids, we’re especially excited about two brand-new Friday night events!
After the panels on Friday, starting at 4:00 PM:

KAIJU UNIVERSITY

A hands-on beginner workshop for those with limited experience. Get patient mentoring from our experienced crew as you build and paint your own resin kaiju kit.
$100 includes kit, paints, tools, instruction, and supper! Sign up at kaijukastle.org

KAIJU VILLAGE
A relaxed communal build night for more experienced modelers. Bring your unbuilt or unfinished models, work together, share techniques, and inspire each other in a fun maker’s space.

Both events will help create an epic monster invasion on the display tables for G-FEST 31!
