Kaiju University

Kaiju University made its debut at G-Fest 2026, giving attendees the opportunity to learn the art of model kit building and painting. The turnout has us excited about returning next year and welcoming more people to the hobby.

Volunteer members gather in front of the Kaiju Kastle banner to celebrate the first Kaiju University class at G-Fest 2026.

A student works on the upper jaw of the Godzilla 1954 model kit using techniques learned in the class.

 Matt Evangelista (standing center), lead instructor and board member, led the Kaiju University class.

More than 25 students participated in the Introduction to Kaiju Modeling sponsored by Kaiju Kastle.
