    On a visit to effects studio Weta Workshop, Adam Savage meets and chats with artists who bring their own obsessions and passion projects to work. Sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen, who is working on miniatures for Jim Henson's Labyrinth board game, shares with Adam his own intricate maze miniature, which will end up being the size of an entire room!

    That man is amazing.... to get Adam to be stunned in silence I do not think has ever been done before.. When I paint a model it takes several hours, the number of hours he must have spent on just painting is already absurd. What a remarkable man with an outstanding work ethic.

      Nulrom Working for Tested sounds pretty awesome, but I would probably also choose to stay at Weta, if I had that choice.

      I'm quite similar to this guys but I'm an Electromechanical engineer. I wouldn't change my job for the world and I'm sure that guys feels the same. I turned down a much higher paying job at NASA because I really do love my job.
