Saw these on the Clawmark Toys site ... These are replicas of artifacts found in Mayan ruins ... Saw the real ones on both the SyFy & History Channels ... I think they are about this size or a little smaller.  As you can see my DKoK Grunts next to them for size.  Of course the "Chariots of the Gods" types say these are models of Maya flying machines ?  I really think the whole Chariots/Gods concept is very interesting from a SyFy point of view ... And may even have some merit ?   It certainy makes you think ...  But any way ... I think they may look more like fish, mantas, etc. ...     So I may paint them up and use them as terrain/Objectives on some far off planet.  Just think how surprised you & your troops/crew would be coming across these ancient flying machines or just statues like these ?      Chaos may be involved ?

They would make great Tzeentch fliers IMO

They look like stylised heads wearing bit hats/crowns to me.

I saw on the History Channel, that they made exact model mach ups of them in light materials, like balsa or plastic ... and they flew ...     "Chocks away !!"       Like I said, I think of a fish & a manta ray ...  "Pass the Tartar sauce !"    The vertical rear rudder/tail fin does look like you'd see on an aircraft or a fish ... go figure ...

They found similar flyers in Egypt, model planes from 5000 years ago.  Ooparts I believe they call them; things that are seemingly out of place in time.

Those look like okay concepts, but the casting quality looks really low in the pics.  How do they look in real life?

Yes, I remember seeing pictures of glyphs from Egyptian ruins of what looked like Helicopters. I think that's why I like Stargate so much, its kind of cool to think of ancient aliens, the writings of Von Danekin(sp.?), etc. ...  It's great Syfy fodder !                                              Neal, they are actually very nicely (and accurately) cast ...  The originials were metal (gold IIRC), and were a bit rough ... Once I paint them up, you will be able to see the details, etc.                               As far as gaming use, I was thinking, of using them as terrain/Objecives ...  The way the primative Cargo Cults of the Pacific made bamboo monuments of aircraft they saw flying over their islands during WWII and after.  So an alien race could do the same thing on some far flung planet ... but instead of bamboo ...  GOLD !!!
