I recently had the privelige of acquiring a casting of the screen used Gorn head that was created by Wah Chang for the TOS Trek episode "Arena." I remolded it as the original is latex and will not last forever. I made a hard casting and recreated the teeth too.
A couple of weeks ago friend Mike Scott (in the Anovos Trek tunic) and IMAX film producer Pietro Serapeglia and I went out to the Vasquez Rocks for a photo shoot with the old Gorn. Needless to say he was quite the hit of the party, as everyone out there recognized him.
This bust pictured is now in the collection of Bob Burns. I am going to auction another one of these completed busts on eBay beginning Sunday October 14th. It will be the only one auctioned to help offset some of the expenses incurred during the restoration
It was fun to restore a real piece of sci fi TV history!
