Adam Savage checks in on the status of sculptor Johnny Fraser-Allen's tabletop model, which has grown from the intricate Labyrinth we saw two years ago to a sprawling world steeped in fantasy architecture and landscapes that come alive. We're awestruck by the design and details of these models, which Johnny has brilliantly made to be modular and customizable. We can't wait to play in Hagglethorn Hollow!

A note from Johnny about the status of this model and kit:

Since the filming of this video the product has gone through significant development and after consideration to the market for this product, we have decided to release the range first as physical products with 3D STL files in the near future.

Hagglethorn Hollow is coming to Kickstarter on September 26th 2018

    It's so good of Adam to let him tell it the way he wants to. So many interviewers try to lead the interview. Adam just took a step back and just let this man do his thing. 10/10
  • @95TurboSol
    Holy hell this dude has talent and dedication! What a masterpiece!
  • @DreDredel3
    I love the artist's passion, can tell he put a lot of heart into this project. The trees are amazing.
  • @Matthew-ee7bp
    I find it funny that Adam, the American, guessed the size of the sculpture in meters, and yet the sculptor, a New Zealander, stated the size in feet.
  • @giantguy1321
    Ya know, the one thing above all I love about nerd/geek culture is just how excited we all get when we are able to express and talk about the things we love. When finding others with equal passion sets you off on a rambling conversation. One which you're all into, excited by and is full of topics you're each able to expand upon. You can tell by watching this just how excited this guy is by his creations and what love of the genre means to him. His enthusiasm makes me smile because I know what that feels like too.
  • @ClayMann
    I thought it was amazing just as an enormously long sculture that yes, does look just like a film set. But then as he revealed how modular everything was, but it doesn't LOOK modular at all. I just have to say that is the single most impressive table top sculpture I've ever seen. And I watch a whole bunch of those channels with really amazing artists making modular pieces for gaming. This is an order of magnitude better than anything. Artists doing this kind of thing have a new bar to try and reach and be inspired by.
  • Can he be any more excited and proud of his work. A true artist.
  • @TwitchyFrags
    That is unreal! The best modular dungeon system I've seen. I can't wait to get a hold of the files. Keep up the work, the passion is so clear and the attention to detail is mind blowing.
  • @valthe1st890
    The amount of planning/thinking to make all the pieces fit so naturally together must me insane! What an amazing artist
  • Every time I see a video from Adam visiting WETA I am struck by the raw creativity that is nurtured there. It may be that Peter Jackson's greatest legacy is this modern creative commune just as much as the LOTR trilogy
  • @onezerotwo
    Adam visits again after pandemic The rolling gate on the shop opens It's just a miniature planet, the entire shop, and Johnny is wearing camouflage "I have become the terrain, Adam, join me."
  • @chai-iy1ck
    Mannn you can tell the love that went into this. This is amazing! I haven't played a lot of tabletop games but i think anyone can tell the passion and effort that was put into this. It's really great how everything is customizable and fits in seamlessly. My favorite parts would probably be the tree creatures that are just really out of this world and really hits that fantasy feeling home.
  • Idk how anyone could ever hate on this man. He has the giddy passion and is so talented
  • @sassycassyg
    I'm absolutely blown away by the magnitude if raw creativity demonstrated here. down to the detail of making the houses look different from different angles, the level of attention in this is just stunning
  • @BrandonKing.
    if everyone could have as much passion as this man we would have enough people to make the world a better place
  • @rosspalmer5171
    That is the most beautiful terrain ever. There are no words...
  • @benwebster3949
    i just love seeing people so passionate about making things
  • @aqualust5016
    You can tell the artist was so excited to explain the entire set to Adam. Love this hobby.
