(20th Century Fox, 1967) A second master model for Chimpanzee makeup designed by the legendary John Chambers for the original “Planet of the Apes” film. Chambers cast this chimp in foam to make a toolstone mold for creating full-head latex appliances that match this in appearance. Chambers himself hand wrote on the bottom “2ND CHIMP SMALL 3.16.67.” The masks from this master were used for many secondary chimpanzee characters in the films, with the second model allowing for a mix of appearances. Chambers was awarded a special Oscar for Makeup for his groundbreaking work on “Planet of the Apes” in 1969. Measuring 8” x 12” x 12” tall, the master model displays in fair condition, with cracking and flaking throughout the surface layer.
