Gundam Mad

Day of the Gundam So this is the big one for us, Gundam Mad are planning to run their own convention next year! The proposed event will be called Day Of The Gundam (D.O.T.G for short) and will be a single day event full of a whole host of activities ranging from workshops, special guests, screenings, competitions, panels, activities, freebies, event exclusive items and a whole host more. Obviously there will also be a huge dealer room containing our biggest set up ever (this includes our MCM ones) providing you with a whole array of Gunpla Goodness, general Gundam Related merchandise and the best the Japanese modelling scene has to offer. At present we are trying to gather the interest levels in the event for next year so we would like people who are keen to attend to please go the D.O.T.G website and register your interest. You will then at a later point receive a short questionnaire which will gather some details about people’s interest in the event, what activities you are all interested in and your locations throughout the UK so that we can work out a suitable venue for the event. We are very excited to be taking on a new challenge and bringing something to the fans we have been wanting to do for well over a decade. We love our fans and definitely want to give them all an experience they’ll never forget.

We're excited to announced that we'll be joined by three passionate Gundam content creators who combined will bring you The Creator Panel in our panel room! @doublealphalive , @mochimecha & @mj2005gundam ! Sharing their experiences, offering tips & tricks, and much more! You can learn more about all three of our Creator Panel at our website here: /Guests or by visiting the link in our bio, and visiting the Guest page under the Events heading. #gunpla #contentcreator #plamo

We're excited to announce that six-time Golden Demon award winner, Raffaele Du Marteau (@king_duma ) returns to Day of the Gundam and this year will bring you two panels focused on model painting techniques! One will focus on painting and weathering techniques on model kits as well as Gundam Assemble. And the other on airbrushing techniques in general. If you're looking to brush up on your techniques or perhaps learn something new entirely, these will definitely be ones to keep an eye on! #gunpla #plamo #modelpainting

We’ve been mentioning the Activities Room and today we have another addition to tell you about! The Speed Build was very popular last year and it’s back again at our 2026 event, taking place in our Activities Room. This year it’ll have a maximum capacity of 50 people and it’s completely free to enter! However, if you want to take part have to register. We’ll be taking registrations on a first come first served basis [at a time & location inside the venue that will be announced nearer to the day of the event itself.] This is to allow as many people as possible to enter the venue and have a chance at being able to register. The Speed Build itself won’t be until the afternoon. (IMPORTANT NOTE: We’ll share the exact time & location of where to register closer to the day of the event, but we can say now registrations for this won’t be until at least an hour after doors have opened, and registrations for this WILL NOT be in the Activities Room itself.) There will be some limited edition prizes up for grabs, based on both speed of building and interesting interpretation. And of course, the Speed Build being in the Activity Room is in addition to the folks at Mantic Games being on hand with playable demos of HALO: Flashpoint and character creator sessions for their upcoming Ghost In The Shell tabletop role playing game - with the game’s creator Alessio Cavatore on hand! Plus, the opportunity for beginners to try playing the Gundam Card Game! #gunpla #speedbuild #modelkit

The Gundam Card Game is something we're very big fans of and we wanted to give folks who have never played the game a chance to experience it! We're happy to confirm we'll have 8 dedicated tables complete with all the equipment needed (i.e. decks, etc) for beginners to try the game! And with that in mind, we're also excited to announce that Gundam and video game content creator, Stephanie Rose (aka thegamerblonde) is coming to Day of the Gundam 2026 and will be will hosting a panel about the Gundam Card Game! We'll have more specific details about this panel closer to the event, but Stephanie is firmly entrenched in the GCG community as someone who regularly competes in tournaments and is also an official judge for the game!

Hey everyone, and welcome to my new Gunpla corner of Instagram! 🤖 My first post had to be about the amazing time I had at The Day of Gundam UK in Leicester. The creativity and skill on display were absolutely mind-blowing! Seeing all those incredible builds has given me a huge dose of inspiration for future projects. One of the best parts was meeting so many awesome and friendly people from the community. And of course, I couldn’t resist picking up a few new kits for the backlog! 😉 So excited to get building and share my journey with you all. Let’s build! #Gunpla #Gundam #TheDayOfGundamUK #Gundamstagram #GunplaBuilder #Plamo #Bandai #GunplaCommunity #Mecha #ModelKit #GundamUK
