Terrain Essentials

by Mel Bose

Mel Bose - The Terrain Tutor - has been building terrain for almost as long as he can remember. When he was five, Mel built playsets for his little green army men in the corner of a craft store. He was often assisted by model railroaders who were regulars at the store and, by the time he turned 15, Mel was primed for a life of building terrain.

Mel has traveled around the world, as a medic in the army, a physiotherapist, and even a salesman. He has worked with people from all walks of life, and looked at things from many different perspectives. It is this approach that he brings to his successful YouTube channel, The Terrain Tutor. Since 2014, Mel has been able to make a living from sharing his passion - teaching people everything he knows about building terrain for tabletop wargaming, for hobbyists, clubs, displays, and for dioramas - and it's that passion and knowledge that he brings to this book.

The Terrain Tutor is truly a wonderful teacher. This book is full of great advice. It is especially strong on materials and techniques. The glue and gloop recipes are worth the price of the book alone, and they’ve already improved what I’m working on.

Warning: if you read this book you may look at every piece of trash you see and think “what cool thing can I make out of this?”
