Can anyone help me identify this model? link
It's a Ral Partha Giant dated 1977. I'm interested in finding out who sculpted it and if the model had a name.

I believe that is a Hill Giant.

It is a Tom Meier sculpt.

Can't wait to see the paint up on him. I like the Gallic style helmet he has on.

Hey, I've got that figure! (I've even got a second and third version of the figure.)

Yep, it was called Hill Giant. Didn't know it was Meier, though, that was nice to know.

Let's see… In 1977 Tom would have been about 18.

I think he was the only in-house Partha sculptor until 1979 when Dennis Mize was hired.

IIRC there were a couple of fellows who worked freelance in 1978.
