It has been a long road, navigating a global pandemic and a friend/author with health issues, but we made it!
In December of 2020 we began the distribution of Terrain Essentials to our wonderful Kickstarter backers. While most packages went through smoothly, we did have some Covid and Brexit-related concerns that have now been sorted out. The response from more than 5,000 Terrainiacs worldwide has been overwhelmingly positive. Everyone has been floored by the comprehensive, yet easily comprehensible, way that Mel has presented all of the examples throughout the book.
We hope it will become the go-to terrain-making guide for decades to come.
In Terrain Essentials, Mel has laid out all of the “essential” information in a logical manner, with each new section building on the previous one. The information covers the following topics:
• Planning.
• Tools & Materials
• Techniques
• Bases & Boards
• Groundwork
• Grasswork
• Rocks & Hills
• Trees & Hedges
• Water & Snow
• Buildings & Kits
Here are a few example spreads for you to check out.
