To create a classic is something many artists strive for their whole lives. Many will achieve it, though it may never reach the public consciousness. Imagine then, creating not one classic, but dozens, creating a new genre of model kit building, becoming the biggest name in model design that the world has ever seen. Creating the Beer Wagon. Bad Medicine. The Cherry Bomb. The Fire Iron. The Garbage Truck. The Groovy Grader. THE RED BARON.
Compared to these, a 55 Chevy gasser sounds pretty tame, but Tom Daniel created another masterpiece with the Badman. This die-cast Badman II (what IS the difference?) has cut an imposing figure on my display shelf the last week, proving that even when the body's stock Tom Daniel is a guy who knows how to design a classic.
