TSR '83 Unreleased Masters 2001 Space Odyssey
Very rare pewter masters of figures from an unreleased Star Frontiers 2010 Space Odyssey figure line
The set includes 3 male figures (1 is Roy Scheider's character, the other looks like Richard Dreyfus, and the third is another astronaut). The figures are in great shape with no damage. This is the only set of these figures known to exist!
Also included with this set of figures is a 3" x 5" index card that David has written the history of the miniature(s) and his role in creating it. Fantastic bit of TSR history. Signed by David.
These miniatures are pewter masters for making new molds. After a miniature is sculpted out of green epoxy a mold is made and then the first masters are made. The masters are the figures used to make a new mold if the original mold wears out. The pewter is harder than lead and holds the detail of the original mold much better than lead.
David is the sculptor for these beautiful miniatures. He sculpted them for a potential TSR Star Frontiers 2010 Space Odyssey miniature set but the figures were never produced. They were sculpted at TSR, cast in house, and are very rare. The figures were never released to the public. The Roy Scheider character is marked 2010 MGM/UA 1984, the Richard Dreyfus figure is marked TSR 1984, and the third is unmarked.
