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.
