Can't see your pictures.

 

That is disturbing, does anyone else have this problem?

I can't see them either.  I am signed into a Google account, but the pictures don't show.

I know that others who have tried posting from Google photos had the same issues.

You may have to get a free account at a photo hosting site.  I used imgur.com.  It's free and easy to use.

His picture was visible this morning.  I think he tried adding another.  I get different error messages clicking on the two image 'placeholders' in the post.

I can see the first picture, and that is a fantastic job!  Surprise

It looks like you tried to post another, and on that one, I get a Google error message.

If I may try something?

That's your first picture.

Thanks Mike.
 
Compressor, fantastic! I’m presuming that the stonework is hand carved?
 
Cheers, the Bear.Smile

Yes

Looks like you tried to post a second picture, that one I can't see, just an empty black screen.

That turned out awesome compressorman!  Very impressive on your foam carving and the paint job you did as well.

Great job!  I can only hope mine turns out as nice as yours didYes

And if it doesn't, I will have to go buy a three and a half inch hole saw??? and try to follow your fine example.

Very nice work.  I see that you are fairly new to the forum.  Welcome.

You may want to show more of your work on a thread called Weekend Photo Fun.

Please post more pictures as you work.  You've done a very good job!

That's excellent compressorman! The weathering looks extremely realistic!

I can see the first picture but not the other two. As was suggested, you might consider giving Imgur a try. It's pretty easy, and for now at least, it's free:
