Review: Z - Female Commissars

Disclaimer: This model was purchased by me using my own money. This review was not paid for or provided by Z in any manner. Z has no idea I am writing this review.





Note: Z is a recaster. I will not be giving out any contact information of his. If you want his information, it took less than a few hours of me googling to find it, find a dated catalog, find the products I wanted and make a test order. Normally, I like to support independent sculptors but I have no idea who originally sculpted these, and so I attached them to a order of tanks I made.

The middle girl with her pistol in the air has the most tumultuous sword. The rest of the models look amazing. 4.5/5





The basilisk has not been built. There looks to be warping on the tube. Besides that details look crisp. 4/5





Hellhounds have warping on the tanks and turret. 4/5





Demo Tanks only got a glimps at so far. Unable to rate. Will edit this later.





After deciding to go to recasters for IG Basilisks, Z was the 2nd recaster I came across. The first was easier to find, but did not have the product I wanted. It seems Z has the best catalog out there. Though his quality could be hit or miss. It took a few hours to find his information, but once I did it was extremely easy.I made my order on October 26th via e-mail.I was responded on October 27th with confirmation.I confirmed that the order was correct that same day.On Nov 1st I received a paypal invoice.I paid Nov 1st.On Nov 10th, Z informed me of the package shippingOn Nov 22nd, I recieved the package.Overall, I'm happy with his service. He was prompt and communicative. I had a lot easier of a time communicating with him than some electricians I work with here in the states! Unfortunately, he did get my order wrong.I ordered 3x Basilisks and 1x Hellhound. I recieved 3x Hellhounds and 1x Basilisk. The rest of my order was correct though.I e-mailed him again asking if we could correct the issue. While excedingly apologetic, he seemed confused as to the issue. I ended up dropping the issue as I figured I'd probably run them anyway sometime and they were priced the same anyway. I figured I'd rather have the relationship in the long term and just order 2 more basilisks at a later date.Basilisk - $24 eaCyclops Demo Tank -$6 eaHellhound - $24 eaThree Commissars -$5 +/- .50 eaCan't complain about this price. almost a 1/3 of GW prices.Unfortunately at this time I don't have pictures of the Hellhounds, Basilisk, or Demo Tanks. I do have some of the Commissars though! They look gorgeous, if a little bit smaller. I figure I could pass that off due to being female. There was very little warping on these models. Almost no flash. That being said, the swords look extremely fragile. One came warped. I am concerned that during travel the sword will break off even in foam cases.
