Progress every day.

Grille!

I designed a shelf under the dashboard and a groove in the roof to snap the windshield into. The dash will sit on the shelf. I assumed the original car had a small rod to support the roof, acting as an A pillar. Instead, I found the roof was secured by a cable, pulling it down so it would not move while being driven; or move due to thermal expansion or contraction.

Welcome, PhilX!

Interior with windshield fitting. No "A" pillar.

Interior panel fit. It's coming together.

The Chrysler Norseman was designed in the mid 50's under the direction of Virgil Exner. At the time they were using Ghia, of Turin, Italy to build their concept cars. Ghia completed the Norseman in mid 1956 and put it on an ocean liner to be transported to the US. The ocean liner was the SS Andria Doria, which collided with the MS Stockholm on July 25, 1956 off of Nantucket. The collision killed 51, the Andria Doria sank, taking the Norseman with it. This was a very big news story at the time, and I remember it well. It seems to have faded from history because of that disaster and because it was never exhibited. Only two photos were taken on it, front and rear, one which I have posted a colorized version of here, and only three of the interior. I can't remember when I became aware of the Norseman, maybe only in the last 10 years. I decide to make the model a year ago and found that there is a file of the car available, but it was unacceptable. Fortunately, there is an excellent 4 view drawing by Brazilian digital artist Dan Palatnik. With it, I contacted Fiverr, a freelance site and commissioned Akris Studio, an Indonesian digital designer, to make the file of the body of the car. I modified that file for 3D printing and designed the interior, wheels and tires for the car. The interior design was quite challenging due to poor resolution of the photos but if I got a few things wrong, who will know? With the increasing availability of 3D printers, difficult projects as this have become doable, not easy, but at least doable.

Pardon me, misread your question. My printer is an Anycubic Photon Mono M7.

Tamiya Fine Surface Primer (L).

Priming and some filling. Lines as that are typical of 3D printing.

Excellent work!

Extremely good work on an important car!

Great work, as usual! Here is a highly detailed 166 motor for your next early Ferrari project: STL file Motor V12 Ferrari 166 ? ・3D print design to download・Cults

Here is something I found interesting: Free STL file Ferrari 166MM improove kit for MFH ? ・Design to download and 3D print・Cults (cults3d.com)

What's the big hurry?

Impressive work.

Excellent start.

Looks great!

You reallyreallyreally need to download a cad program like Fusion; learn it - I know, it's not easy - and get a quality 3d printer. You've seen the astounding work that Bill Cunningham has been doing on the ACME Facebook page. You will be amazed at what you can do.

When you get a solid file, here is the easy way to hollow it. Get Meshmixer and load your file into it. Then follow these instructions to set the offset distance: Meshmixer Tutorial for Beginners | All3DP For a more professional approach, go to Bill Geary's "Digital Surgeon" page on Facebook. He's really good.

Great work!

Super nice detailing.

I'm putting my models in boxes now - hope to see you there!

Thanks for the compliments! I will have this model in a concept car diorama that will feature the Cadillac Cyclone and the Plymouth XNR in our show this Saturday. See links for information. Everyone is invited.
