Terrain Essentials: A Book About Making Wargaming Terrain

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 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 made 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 is bringing to
this book.
