Citadel ME hobbit (classic range) sculptors

[rhynn_o]

Hi, I tried unsuccessfully to find info about Citadel classic ME sculptors, in particular hobbits (e.g. ME34). Does anyone know who did these oldies?

I know the Perry twins did a fair number and they are quite proud of the fact that every time Citadel got the rights, they did figures. John Blanche did some early concert art but of course, he didn't sculpt (well, not big time anyway).

Yes, to me some Perry's are indeed recognisable (e.g. orcs) and also Jes Goodwin's (uruks) but I can't figure out who did the hobbits, in particular...

Trying to think of who Citadel had at the time which might have worked on them.
It was before they started to credit the sculptors. I think we can rule out Bob Olly, Trish Morrison (Carden), and maybe Aly Morrison.

I'm really still thinking Perries.. Maybe Alan Perry, who did a lot of the Halfings. If you look at some of his work (though as I hear it, even if Alan Perry said he sculpted it, he and his brother helped each other and worked on each others stuff all the time) he did late 80s to early 90s...

I think Bob Naismith joined in '84 but I've never seen his name associated with the middle earth line.

Rick Priestly wrote about some of the range in Warlock #7 but doesn't name any sculptors.

I have a feeling I've seen him mentioned somewhere in relationship to the BME1 Fellowship boxed set. If so, I'd guess Boromir & Strider are his work.
