Not to discourage you, but it is a LOT of work. It takes a LOT of time. Knowing that going in might help you. If you go in thinking your going to build this map in a weekend or two your going to get frustrated really fast. If you plan on taking a good amount of time you won't get as frustrated.

Good luck! I hope you make one!

Download the TE and make sure you have an image editing program such as Photoshop.  There is a TEreadme text document in your AH Editors folder after you download the editors.  Be sure to read it (a few times).  That will get you started.  Midi's tutorials posted in this forum would be the next step after that.  Then, just post questions as you have em in this forum.  We're always glad to help an aspiring terrain maker.
