Well done Helmut, will you add some external details, such as windows sils to improve the 3D look ?

The layering concept works very well, and I like what you have done with it.
I'm waiting for someone to make a laminated card model of, say, a steel passenger car. with the rivet heads embossed with the Sihouette.
I'm still trying to learn how to draw on the machine, without, I must admit, much success.
The link that you gave about turning a JPG file into a GIF seems to work,
but for some reason I'm having problems replicating a basic shape in a line,
so that it looks (and cuts--but I haven't got to that point) like one continuous piece.

@Herb
From what I've read embossing is only reasonably possible with the Curio
( which in turn offers only half the working area of the Cameo ).
A comprehensive guide is here.
There's coach sides and houses - very in-depth coverage.
And if you follow this link, you get all the advice how to scribe brass sheet.
A little is said about rivets, too.

This evening I played around with plastics on my portrait cutter.
It doesn't like 0,3mm stock, you can only scribe it and cut through with a knife.
Not that pleasing, so I tried thinner material.
And there it was - success with the settings for Coverstock on 0,15mm Plastic sheet.
The dot spacing is 1mm, so that upper horizontal brace is just 0.5mm wide.
Structures that small are almost impossible to cut in cardstock.
