MODELLING AT G-FEST

There are two great ways interested model builders can get involved in G-FEST events, learning about model building and showcasing their work.

 

Model panels run from Friday to Sunday, with presentations on how to build and paint models.  Professional sculptors and model builders will present panels on sculpting, creating dioramas, and opportunities for model builders. 

 

Bring your imagination and be prepared to ask questions not just about what our panelists suggest, but also about your plans for future projects that you want to discuss and share with the panelists and other modellers. 

We want to keep building the Kaiju modeller community!

MODEL EVENTS

THE GREATEST LITTLE
GIANT REPTILE SHOW ON EARTH

Our Model show and contest runs from Friday night until Sunday morning. 

​

Entries usually consist of, vinyl,  resin, or styrene models but other media are acceptable (paper, metal, et cetera) - as are original sculpts. 

​

Re-posed and re-painted toys are also allowed, so long as enough work has been done to them that craftsmanship can be judged.  Work is judged in scratch built (original sculpts and kits), diorama, and standalone categories. There is a junior category 17 years and younger.
