Very welcome to represent “The other side” of the Technical pickup war. In resin, I remember that these were hard to obtain and quite pricey.
I’d be interested in how AK managed to do this—via 3-D modeling or otherwise—and if they can make a 1/35 Toyota Tacoma or USSOCOM SOF Flyer 72 in plastic.

According to the video, plastic version appears to offer more features such as a detailed interior. I think the old resin offering was oversimplified.
Looks like AK has put out a figure set to go with their Technicals.
They look to come w/some extra gear too.

In case you’ve not seen it - Nacho has discovered the holy grail.
Well, starting a new diorama. I was building a F-18G but I got bored of it (at least for now), so I decided to try a new diorama. After talking to some friends and thinking what to do with some Live Resin figures I have in the stash, I have decided to make a patrolling ODA in an Afghan ravine. In a quick search in the web I found that picture of a ravine somewhere in Afghanistan and I liked it.

I had to watch some videos to learn how to make those kind of rocks, and once I got some id…
The photos of his printed pieces are quite impressive.
I had the resin MIG Hilux many years ago, Wasn’t inpressed. Hopefully thier plastic is better.

This figure set is welcome and fills a niche in manning the 1/35 pickups. The resin option for Technical pickup figures is from Paracel Miniatures.
That one reminds me of the technical in the movie BHD… Different Recoiless rifle. The one in the movie had a Chinese SPG-9.
AK already has the FJ43 with the SPG-9 RR, just paint it in some wild colors and boom! Instant Somali Militia Technical.
Or… Make it as a civilian FJ, tearing up the sand dunes in Oman with some crazy dude behind the wheel, giving it a full send.
