The Storm Bolter Turret on my Sisters of Battle Repressor – Storm Troopers Transport went together very easily.

These are the resin and plastic components.

Here is the completed turret.

It fits nicely into the turret ring.

The resin seems to have shrunk…

As I was building the Repressor I noticed that I had a problem. The new roof did not fit as expected, it was as though it had shrunk.

The arrow points to the parts not fitting together as they should.

This is of course always a concern with resin parts and to be honest I almost expect it with Forgeworld models, these are resin kits which require skill not mass produced plastic kits which any old fool can put together!

Now the issue was how was I going to rectify this?

One of the resin parts that comes with the Repressor kit is the visor for the driver.

Basically it is the same as the plastic part, but with a banner attached.

After putting the sides together I stuck on the top of the Rhino which is the base for my Sisters of Battle Repressor – Storm Troopers Transport.

I also added the front armour panel as well.

I won’t be detailing the inside as already mentioned, but I am intending to add extra details such as purity seals etc…

After much procrastinating and leaving it, the other day I started and made significant progress on my Sisters of Battle Repressor which I am going to use as a Storm Troopers Transport. Over the next week or so I will post photographs of the different stages of the process.

The Repressor uses the Rhino as the basis for the model and there are various resin parts.

After thinking about it for a while I decided that I would not detail, model or paint the interior of the model. In the main as the resin parts did not allow easy access (viewing) to the internals and therefore would be (in my view) a lot of work and effort and nobody would see it.

The first stage was to put the core Rhino structure together. I avoided the mistake I made with my Ork Looted Rhino and assembled it according to the “instructions”.

After one side I glued the other track assembly together. Luckily there are not lots of wheels like most scale model kits you get these days.

Then the two sub-assemblies were glued together. At this point don’t forget to add the back door!

Next stage was to add the top of the hull.
