(20th Century Fox, 1967) A second master model for Gorilla makeup designed by the legendary John Chambers for the original “Planet of the Apes” film. Chambers cast this gorilla 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 GORILLA MASTER L 3.67.” The masks from this master were used for many secondary gorilla 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 7.5” x 11.25” x 15” tall, the master model displays in good condition, even with cracking and flaking throughout the surface layer.
