I would not be surprised to see this cross a thousand hours, given the materials and complexity of this suit. He’ll have to split the work. He and Frank will probably be focusing on the torso-piece, helmet, boots etc.

Adam is a hard-edged model maker by trade and Frank is an awesome mold-maker, but I see them…

As a resident of San Francisco with an interest in science and maker-culture, I’ve met Adam and Jamie half a dozen times over the years. Each time they have been nothing but friendly and engaging, and exactly what you’d expect from watching the show (though Jamie seems a lot more relaxed off camera).
