Sally 4th: 28mm Photo-realistic Normandy Project Goes Live on Kickstarter


Sally 4th: Today Sally 4th has launched their 28mm Photo-realistic Normandy project on Kickstarter.

The aim of this project is to design and manufacture a set of kits for the Normandy campaign in 28mm using our photo-realistic design concept. This combines a simple, robust and quick to build 3mm MDF shell with a set of cover sheets, which have been designed, using photos of real stone & plaster textures and period detail such as road signs, posters and name boards. These are simply cut out and pasted onto the shell. Windows are glazed with Perspex glazing and coloured mounting board glazing bars, shutters and doors are added to complete the kits to a high standard. 


One of the great things about this approach is that it means that every model maker can produce a model that is as good as the models we have put together for our photographs because it is not dependent on a high level of artistic skill to paint and weather and blend. The video on our Kickstarter page shows the construction process.






We have pledge levels for a single building and then enough buildings to fill a 2’ square, 3’ square, 4’ square and 4’ x 6’ gaming area. All buildings have removable roofs and were applicable removable 1st floors to enable full deployment and moving within the buildings. We would very much like to expand this range and we have included stretch goals for six additional buildings that we will add to the range if there is sufficient backing.
