Indeed. More, please.

What that man said. A 'How to' on acacias would be much appreciated all around, I am sure. Very useful, those. Iconic.

Though not as nice as Frank's, I thought I'd share a 'how to' I come across a dew years ago now:
http://www.warfactory.co.uk/scenery/acaciatrees.php

There's some other nice stuff on this site as well:

@ Hammers: I have some unfinished trees on my desk right now. Before I get on, I will make some pictures.

Much as I like the trees, what I really want to see is more of your Masai.  :)

@Plynkes: I’m afraid, there are no more at the moment…

...but I can post some other East-African stuff (take a look at the Adventure in East-Africa - Message)

I like the Schleich trees but I think they've already been mentioned and they aren't cheap. That said, the Baobab on that site is cheaper than I've seen them anywhere else and I'm tempted....

I suppose for most skirmish games you'd only need one or maybe two to set the scene. They could be affordable in that case. It's the trees you need in larger numbers like the acacia that become too expensive  :(

Yeah, it was the acacia I was meaning. The baobab is okay, particularly as I've only seen it in the shops for over £20.
