About this piece

This build started as an experiment in adapting the 1/24 scale Kei truck body to a 1/18 scale RC chassis, and evolved into a styled tribute to my tattoo client and friend Dave, who owns an Austin Texas-based moving company called Ogre Man Movers.

The decals and cab are filled with small Easter eggs referencing parts of Dave's life and interests, capped off with his old dog Rocco at the wheel.
