Title: Idols and Effigies
Post by: Heldrak on 08 July 2010, 09:17:26 PM

I was wondering if we could have a sticky thread with links to pictures of various idols, totems, effigies, statutes, monuments, gravestones, etc.

For instance, I recall that somebody produces a little idol that resembles the one in the opening scene of the first Indiana Jones movie, but I can't recall who makes it (although I know that Crocodile Games makes an excellent Ark of the Covenant).

I also thought that having a common reference point for all the various makers of Cthulhu-themed statuary might be a good idea.

I'll get the ball rolling by posting a link to the the Aegyptus Icons & Artifacts scetion on the Crocodile Games site (lots of good stuff there):

Here's the specific link to the aforementioned Reliquary Ark:

Try http://www.castawayarts.com.au/catalog/catalog_main.php?cmd=groupload&group=17 (http://www.castawayarts.com.au/catalog/catalog_main.php?cmd=groupload&group=17)
at the bottom of the page for the ark and German soldiers to carry it.

Try http://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=35 (http://shop.hydraminiatures.com/index.php?cPath=35) for a suarian idol holding skulls.

These are both for 28mm figs although I guess the idol could be for any scale, well maybe not.  www.recreationalconflict.com (http://www.recreationalconflict.com) are now sculpting various sized tikis for lost worlds gaming.  They have some painted tikis (3 styles), not on the web site but available for $3 each, plus postage.
Hope this helps someone.
