Didn't see the terrain so I was like
Hold up
Great to see the old Mel we all know back in action! Brilliant tutorial as always. I'm waiting with baited breath for the next instalment. Kind Regards Johnny
Love your tutorials Mel. I'd be lost without them. Thanks for sharing.
Glad they help bud
Good to see you back in the driving seat Mel. Keep going and be groovy. Look forward to the next project. 😁
"nice to be back ;) " great to see you like so! :D
A+! We wanted muddy trenches, you put them on top of the hill. LoL. Again well done!
great to have you back bud. Cheers for mentioning the PVA on the underside of the base a lot of my terrain pieces warped from PVA contracting. Gotta go back and fix them
Glad to see the happy enthusiastic Mel back.
Great to see you back at full strength again, Mel, with another fine installment in the tutorial journey. Looking forward to being like the shepherd and getting the flock going ... Thnx for all the obvious effort, which helps us get better together.
Good to have you back doing what you do best Mel
Been watching this channel for about 3 years now and it is just awesome to see you smiling Mel. Seriously just thank you for being you, just a genuine real guy. You add light to my life with every video you put out and you have really helped me not just with terrain but in making my life that much better. Anyway thanks mate and really glad you got the old dog at bay.
Another quality job from the master himself.. you sir are an inspiration to us all... keep up the great work.. thank you
Looks great, makes me want to make some for my Death Korps of Krieg!
I've just recently decided to get back into making terrain and miniatures after about ten years away. I thought I'd better give myself a refresher and came across your fantastic channel. Your enthusiasm is palpable and contagious, and your craftmanship is truly impressive. I've got a lot of catching up to do! Keep up the great content Mel!
Thanks buddy
FANTASTIC Mel!
Good on you Mel! I'm a railroad guy but I couldn't do it without you my friend. Thanks for all your help!!!
Terry Shaw I do lansdcapes for mecha, but yes, Mel's tips are invaluable. I recently chose a red overbrush for some seaside rock formations and it dried waaaaaay too red. Desaturated it with lots of brown washes and it looks fab now.
Amazing work Mel!
Right on Mel great having u back especially with this vid as I’m getting ready to build a WW1 battle field for FoW. I hope your feeling much better .
Brilliant I feel like I can’t stop the video running it’s so entertaining
I couldn’t wait for this video! I caught the other 3 and started looking for the 4th and couldn’t find it.....until now. YES! Keep up the good work.
Happy you're feeling better.
Great to see you are Back!
Great to see this beast continued! Looking forward to more!
It‘s good to have you back, Mel!
To be honest I din‘t believe you were making the sandbags in a proper way... guess what? I was wrong. They look great, realistic and dirty.
This is one of those times I would like to be a 28mm soldier...
I'd wait till you see how it ends up before you take the posting mate
i love your energy! never let it go below 9000
You have no idea how long I have been waiting for this vid
I'm guessing about as long as it's been since you finished watching part 3.
Another great installement. Top job.
Looks very nice!
Yaaaaaaay! Great to see you back on the tutorials Mel, hope you're doing well.
Many years ago now, I ran track in high school. My high school was on top of a hill in the middle of what had been the Siegfried Line. We trained cross country, running up and down those hills. In my experience, the bottoms of the hills were muddy, the middles of the hills were muddy, and the tops of the hills were muddy. I don't think adding trenches would have made things _less_ muddy. 8-)
That said, my opinion is that the earth is significantly too dark (brown rather than beige). Take a look at photos of anywhere in that area (Google maps satellite view, for instance) and you'll see the plowed fields are mostly yellowish or reddish beige. The same is basically true around Ypres or in the Hürtgenwald. (Though any really wet places would be darker, of course.)
Quibbles aside, though, I really like both the modeling and this series. Good to see you back.
Doug Sundseth yeah anywhere water can collect, it will. No reason the trenches wouldn't be muddy (save for well engineered drainage). Take it from a guy who regularly hikes up a 1 kilometer canyon to a large lake.
When 2 turns to 5;)
Great to see the change from the start of the vid, to the finish:) glad to see you coming back to your old self:) woooooof wooooof!
Great stuff Mel. And glad to see you got the black dog under control. It mint to see you laughing and joking
Absolutly buzzing to have you back Mel keep up the great wotk

Great to see that grin, Mel!
I think he's got his mojo back
Great to see you back. Another great video.
Wow. Looking GOOD. I have to say that the opportunity to do so many great detail bits makes me want to switch scales.
Good to have you back
Stories. Now that's a wise thought.
I've waited ages for this post. Well done Mel, and welcome back mate.
Great work.
Good video,glad you found your mojo again,one day at a time Mel ..Legend
Great work mate, would have loved to see your painting techniques inside the trench systems but guess that’s an in-house secret ... looking forward to part 5 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Omg mel there amazing
Thanks mate
Wow.
I'm "HOOKED" I do belive
Hello Mel. I used to live near Stoke. Anyways, I discovered your channel by accident. Still not sure how, probably because I'm interested in history and military history. And one of your videos (the bunker tutorial - that was my first video) apperead on the side. Have to say even though I have little interest in table top war gaming ( not saying that it's a rubbish hobby, just not ever got involved with it). I do love strategy board games, and board games in general, and pc strategy gaming. Right I'm rambling on. Just wanted to say I've been watching your vids for a few day, subbed the other day as i was enjoying them so much. Have always wanted to make models, and think your content is absolutely brilliant. It's inspired me to give it a go, but have never done this sort of modelling before. I also think the way you present your vids and explain things is really good. Think you have a great personality for doing these sorts of videos. And the things you have made are amazing. Well, I better leave it at that, or i will be here all day 😋.Great content Mel, look forward to watching more of your videos. If you read this comment, thanks for taking the time to do so. All the best😊
Top!!!!Bravoooo
FINALLY!!!
You are very skilled Mel,I have be using some of your ideas to make and paint some rock -like scatter pieces to use on my Godzilla diorama's. Do you still do your showcase show? You are great teacher. I have learned a lot.
Yep, still do showcases buddy
i know you meant to say WWI Mel- that stuff about the Germans having the high ground.
"It's over France, Ich habe the high ground!"
"You underestimate mon manpower"
"Don't try it"
i absolutely love it but just food for thought, if you would really like to get full realism, trenches were never really curvy but rather went in zig-zag patterns in order to prevent opposing soldiers infiltrating the trenches being able to see straight down the trench, but then also to avoid the shock wave of a shell going off travelling through the trench
Excellent job Mel, looks brilliant. What happened to the poppies?
They didn't work mate
Great stuff Mel, and great to see you back! How did you glue the barbed wire down? I've had huge problems with mine, regardless of which glue I used :S
Gel superglue mate
TheTerrainTutor of course! I've only got thin superglue, will pick up some thicker stuff. Thanks :)
Hi Mal....rather than use MDF what do you reckon about using corflute as a base...I have quite a lot and am thinking of using that instead of MDF...thoughts
Plastic bases do come with problems with certain glues, also, beveling the edges work take extra patching work to look good mate
Hey Mel, I have a question concerning the barbed wire. How did you glue it to the stakes? Did you also glue it to the ground? What glue did you use? Thanks mate.
Gel superglue mate
Здорова . Хорошее видео
Hi Mel. I have a whole bunch of the large Reaper Bones dragons and want to do diorama style bases for them, so I have been catching up on your terrain videos.
My question is...what is the American equivalent of the Das putty?
I've no idea but I'm guessing someone stateside will answer shortly mate
Great video I see. Sand bags in town today believe it or not burlap sacks tied at end where pour the sa BN d in so come on chop chop ,!!!; Hahahaha
Where did you get your sand bags from?
I make them, I've got a few vids on making them mate, search my vids for sandbags
TheTerrainTutor thanks
How many coffee cups did you have before the video you were going nuts
this is why i dont use mdf for bases...
