Excavator silhouette with a heap of earth, as a solid black shape
Excavator silhouette with a heap of earth. The preview is the SVG file itself.

The excavator as one shadow, its bucket lifted over a heap of earth, with only the cab windows cut out. It stands on a flat strip of ground: one piece with a straight base for a shadow box.

This shape is also a part in the shadow box scene maker, where you can stand it in a layered scene and download the sheets.

Scaling a design scales its thinnest part too. Here is this one at seven sizes, from 1 to 12 inches on its longer side, with how many copies fit a 12 × 12 inch sheet or mat.
