So now the portal sits within a stone circle flanked by stone pillars with little bowls of fire (hot glue) around it.

But there’s so many more options that I’ve been working on some of which are a bit off theme or very tenuously theme-related but I just thought you’d maybe like to see.
So I made these just before Christmas there from DAS clay.
A mouse statue, a sword in a stump, and a stone slab table for picnics or sacrifices.
I rebased or altered them to fit the stone circle so I can swap them out. And then I made even more options just for the fun of it. So here’s the 6 other options. We have...
The holy shrine (of mousey godliness)
The unholy ring of magic summoning.
The sacrificial altar.
The vampire’s resting place, pop the lid and steak that sucker!
The tunnel entrance to the ghostly catacombs.
Or the grassy mound where the sword of the faerie king awaits a hero.
Some could be on-theme for crossing the threshold between worlds but not all of them. I thought a wishing well might also be a nice one or maybe a fountain.
Anyway, I’ll stop spamming up the thread now until i get some paint on it all.
Dude!
Your simple portal turned into modular epic terrain piece with backstory and lots of narrative. Way to get sucked into it lolz The portal and mouse shrine is my faves. The mouse shrine reminds me of Ghost of a Tale Game.

Oooo I like those blue pipes.
Are you planning on adding some broken rebar sticking from the broken edges?
I have four stream sections finished. Now I need to design start and end pieces. I think the end piece will be easy to do, but I'm struggling with what I want to do for the start piece.
Looking good!
I don't have a good suggestion for the beginning, perhaps just heavy overgrown side with cattails that would cover the "beginning"
Or like it was mentioned before, just have river run from edge to edge.

Finally some perfect cast came in.
This stuff really supercool! Mixes well, pours smoothly, after 30 mins hard enough to pull from that mold without breaking like plaster did.
I even tried to put old spruces in for the support.
For the excess, I made dents in the ground with a rock, now I have some nifty solid rock pieces.

Glad you found a good material, and genius idea with the sprues!
Thanks for bringing up rebar actually, because I had actually cut some pieces of wire to use for exactly that purpose, and I had completely forgotten about them. So I will probably be adding them later, though not sure if the paint will hold, as I won't bother priming them separately. Speaking of priming, got the overpasses primed and partway through painting, just a quick grey with white drybrush, and some green for the pipes (I'll brighten it up later, after I do some washes as well). Still trying to figure out whether I want to do the metal walkway as chipped/ rusty paint, or just a rusty/ oily steel. Anyway, here's some pics:
@ Ferrous695 :
How about rust on metal and few dabs of greenery?

Progress
7 pieces cast, glued back to back, spray-painted black.
Adjusting the plan as I go. Instead of ruined wall section of a cathedral with the arches, I'll combine them into a tower of a sort. It is much easier to move it around that way.
Need something for the top
Found some old foam pieces from old projects. Will try to put it all together.
Some really nice stonework there. Nice big chunks like you might put on a trebuchet to sling at an army of orcs.
Seriously though, I’m looking forward to seeing this piece coming together. Are you going to make it buildable and take-down-able? (It’s late, I’m losing the words) I thinking that big heavy terrain pieces are hard to store if you can’t take them down into box-sized chunks.
I've been caught up in finishing terrain for an upcoming game, but hope to get back to the river pieces this weekend
Thanks. That was an accident that turned out very well. I am yet to actually use it in other work.
I tried to color the fine flock but instead the paint soaked into the flock staining it whole. After it dried it has that look and texture of orange rock moss.

Indeed.
I plan to have it all as one piece. Initially the idea was to cast in plastics but that is too expensive because the piece is that big.
BUT! this has a specific purpose and wont be moved a whole lot so I am ok with it being a bit bulky and heavy.
Dry brushed the arches, stained them a bit green (finally good use for that GW contrast pot), and begin to cover the arches in coats of resin.
This is Aquarium safe resin, usually used in combination with calcium carbonate to make mold aquarium decorations.
So the idea is to coat terrain piece in that, and make it aquarium safe. I have done tests before and it will work.
Casting with that will be pricey, but coating saves a ton of resin and still has the terrain detail.

I am looking to have a beginning and end point for more options when setting it up. Took some advice from the suggestions but instead of rocks or a cave I went for a sewer pipe which is kinda like a cave.

These are turning out great. Is there a reason they need to be aquarium safe?

Loving everyone else's builds, they're really starting to come together! Peterhausenn That rust effect looks great! I'm a little jealous. Mothsniper Loving the arches, and love that moss effect on that old project of yours.
I think I've got all the painting done, though I am prone to going back in the next day or two and changing things. I'm not super happy with how the rusted metal came out in the end, but I don't hate it.
All that's left is to try and add some flock, though adding realistic greenery is definitely a weak point of mine, but we'll see how I get on.
Thanks. It is a fun process which is my go to for rust. I use basic craft paint mixing the colors of a brown, an orange, and a metallic gold until I get a decent "rust" color. For application I started with an iron for the bars and then I just apply the rust mixture quite runny and watered down, starting at the bottom and pulling it up allowing it to run back down. I wick off any large pools and repeat the process a couple times. The gradient forms naturally and allows me to simulate a rustier bottom than top.
Starting on what I think will be the final piece. Just a little run off sludge pond.

Cool! Have you ever tried that SteelWhool and Hydrogen peroxide rust paint?

Interesting, I never used metallic paint in the rust mixture. Will have to give it a try one of these days

I have to do one side at a time for resins, and the glues have to cure for full 24 because pieces are big n "heavy" ish.
Progress is slow due to dry time for resins or glues.
There is a bit of a gap, and bowing, the arches are not 90 degree leveled or even and that is due to my redneck-style mold making.
Therefor building up shapes for that extra detail and for the glue to get a good grip on the pieces that don't line up really well.

I used gorilla glue for the first time recently. It’s a bit tricky, if you used too much water it really foams
Out like expanding foam but then it’s not too hard to cut down to shape again after if you can get a knife into the corner. But yes, the drying/curing time was really quite annoying, especially if you leave something to set overnight and then get up in the morning to find it’s set out of shape and you have to chop it apart and re-position it.
Your stone arch ruins are looking mega! What kind of aquarium are we talking?
Have the "water" down along with some details mixed in. I had a bit of a concern with the "reeds" that I used. The "reeds" are simply bristles from a toothbrush cut off and shoved into the then wet caulking. It was after I placed them in the caulk I became concerned if I would be able to paint them while on the base. I probably should have painted them before placing them as it would be easier. I wanted to get this figured out before painting the rest of the piece since if I would have to redo them it would be less harmful now. I decided to try to tint them with a wash and see if that would work. Thankfully it did and I am happy enough with the result. Now I just have to give the caulk another day or two to fully cure and I can start painting the rest.

Yep, with gorilla glue you are suppose to clamp pieces down, and that is tricky to do on delicate terrain piece.
I am not a fan of gorilla glue because of long dry time however this glue has a very strong bond and does not melt pink insulation foam like super glues and hot-glue gun does!
My other options are, Titebond III woodglue or 2PartEpoxy, both of those I don't have, plus they are not cheap, plus wood glue is strong but not with pink foam to plaster or shiny resin to resin (I will have to mix something into that woodglue to give it tooth), and 2PartEpoxy takes too long to work with and messy. Thus gorilla glue.
The aquarium is 55Gallon tank,

Wow! I go skiing for a few days and everyone takes huge leaps forward! Mothsniper, those arches are fantastic, and I appreciate the added challenge of waterproofing them. Peterhausen, the design of your culvert is brilliant, and I'll second the comments about your rust effects. I think I need to make time to go back a full page and check in with everyone else.
Here's where I have made it... my first effort at cutting the arches was tedious and inaccurate, so I made templates of card (for the Proxxon) and styrene (for the engraving and texturing) and they sped things up considerably. I'm on pace to have all four of the 5" Ls ready this month, and I might push on and make a set of 3" templates to crank out my 2-story buildings to accompany them. Here's a quick reference pic with some classic 2e models for scale, and I'll post a few process pics to my plog.
Finally the top pieces coated and dry. Waiting on resin on the arches to dry before gluing together.
Btw, Shininess does not bother me because underwater you cant see it.
Great work on the arches. What kind of fish will you/do you have in the tank? I think I see a little guy hanging out by the filter. I can't really tell but is it a puffer by chance? The smaller tanks looks like there might be a guppy or molly in it.

I think what you see by the filter is a yellow snail. No puffer, fresh water only I have 2 fish in the big tank: some type of loach and a plecostomus, can't see them because both like to hide.
Smaller tank has 1-Betta, 1-Otocinclus, 5-Zebra danio, 1-Guppy and bunch of snails. I will get more fish for big tank when the decorations are in; don't know what fish though, perhaps a lot of small schooling fish be nice.
Speaking of, a bit of a problem. Too much foam, not enough plaster, the damn thing floats. Though I was almost done, nope.
Automatically Appended Next Post: So, I have done a test in the past. Used that aquarium safe resin with calcium carbonate to build up a thin shell of 3-4 layers, painted it, and hollowed it out using acetone that melted the foam and left the resin shell. Perfect for wide and larger pieces.
It did work, however there is not way for me to re-seal the inside on something long and narrow. On the arches all I have is 2 layers of paint and 2 thin layers of resin.
Ether need to build up 4-5 layers with calcium carbonate, repaint, re-seal, hollow-out with acetone, wash out, air-out, somehow re-seal the inside while losing all detail on the surface. Or just add something heavy to the arches so it sinks. Or, spray it with matt varnish and use it outside the tank for something else.

Oof, that's a bummer so close to the end. What about mounting it on a flat base that you could bury in the gravel? The acetone trick seems like a huge new step.
However over a month underwater I noticed some black and green molding happening. Pulled them out, dried them up, and want to coat them in resin too for long term use. But this time got PlastiDip clear Matt spray to seal the trees with. Folk use Matt black PlastiDip to paint aquarium filter piping to make it less visible and be aquarium safe. However this stuff is not very durable and the rubbery film can be peeled off (from my research), figured for the trees should be sturdy enough. Hope this works.

Base would make sense, also it will secure the legs together, because now they are by them selves and if accidentally bumped might crack off.
Well, my tank is already set up and planted, kinda don't want to disturb it.
Plus wanted the legs free standing (even if they are vulnerable) that way I can pull it out, clean tank, put piece back in.
Plus, I don't think that gravel is heavy enough to keep it down lolz. I feels like that thing need some serious weights to keep it down.
Think I figured out what to try.
Will attempt to pour acetone from the bottoms, down each "foam column" ie the corner, because the corners are the largest foam pieces.
Hopefully the 2 layers of paint and 1 layer of resin will hold-on long enough for me to pour plaster into the hole burned out by the acetone! Sealing the interior from melted foam and adding weight.
If this works then hurray! If not, then I will be posting progress of reattaching arches with new corners made from rocks and wood-glue.

IT WORKED!!!!
kidding, of course it didn't lolz
(decided to document process for such an unusual thing)
First try:
Made a hole to melt down the column.
Melting went well, and left extra thin wall. Here you can see the light shining right through it.
As more of foam melted, the column began to fold on it self and wrinkle. sadface
But it held together and I though to try and pour some PerfectCast but acetone must of melted through some cracks unseen to me. Emergency plastiline patching did not help at first. Lots of patch, pour, clean, patch pour clean, repeat.
Eventually:
4) - Left this part foam
3) - Was the first "pour" that did not leak out but blew out the column.
2) - Second pour was a test and helped to seal up some other leaks.
1) - Rest filled up well with PerfectCast but I was unable to un-wrinkle the column
Second Try:
Decided to melt column in smaller sections and from the side instead of one big melt down from the bottom.
1) - Poke a hole
2) - Pour acetone, fill with plaster, move on.
3) - To give an idea of the thickness that I am working with. Plastelin helped in holding shape and prevent leaks.
Was able to fill 4 holes, even if its plaster foam plaster foam.
Third try:
Decided to take entire top off the corner section and fill from top.
1) - Scoring before acetone accelerates melting dramatically
2) - Uneven melt left wall in places thin/thick, helps with holding the shape.
Extra plaster is poured over flat surface and later repurposed as filler for the next pour.
First pour pushed out the walls a bit. Second pour filled in the rest but was much lower due to wall bulging. Ended up building up wood-glue/dirt mixture to make up the difference.
That is pretty crazy. I'm a bit late with the suggestion, but before going through all of that did you think to try to heat a rod/pipe/tube to make your hole to avoid the acetone risk?
I’ve seen heat wire/rod very hard to control with foam too. Prob wouldn’t have been any less destructive than the acetone. The other option might have been drilling out some holes but that might’ve just torn the legs off it. Nightmare. Well I suppose it’ll look plenty eroded by the time you’re done. Hope the fish appreciate all the effort.

Thanks for remind me that! I totally forgot about heat.
So i wanted to do try that for the rest but 2 reasons why I did not:
One is that heat is really hard to control and where acetone does not melt the thin layer of resin, heat will burn right through it.
Two, the biggest reason is that I have a Foam Cutter Pen, but I could not find it anywhere. I just remember that it was cheap and not very good so I never really used it and so I could not find it to give it a try.
It would of definitely been worth a try.

I think at this point I gave up on finding cheap and quick way to make highly detailed aquarium decoration and now just get enjoyment from the process of solving this issue.
Damn fish better like this tower!

Progress
Did a quick dunk test, it no longer floats!
You can see warped corners and wrinkled holes around.
Now need to finish painting, sealing, waiting to dry.
I can always make more smaller pieces and glue to this rig at a later time to built it up some more. And eventually have part of it sticking out of water.
Sorry to jump in with my finished piece so early but here’s my final photos.
Portal in place from the front.
This is the other side of the portal door (which I think I like better than the front!)
I’m pretty happy with how it turned out but what I like best of all is the playability.
Our heroes come upon a strange arcane circle in the darkness. What could it mean? What mysteries await to be unraveled in this strange portentous place?
Stumbling upon a stone pillar with an oil lamp set on top , naturally they decide to light the lamps.
They process around the circle lighting each lamp in turn. Squirrel is feeling a tingle in his tail. Is something terrible going to happen?
No sooner is the fourth and final lamp lit than a weird portal appears in the centre of the stone circle.
An unnatural wind whips up roiling magical energies at the threshold to another realm.
But before they have gathered their wits there issues forth a band of unspeakably hideous fiends! Beasts from another dimension! Not at all cute or adorable but foul and brutish and accursed!
That’s what you get for lighting the lamps in mysterious magic stone circles.
And just because I’ve got lots more options to play with though not necessarily on theme here’s a collection of bonus unofficial pics just for fun.
Spoiler:
A mouse maiden offers devotions at the statue shrine of the mouse goddess.
The sorcerer’s apprentice reaches for the sword of destiny.
The evil Count Venom is tracked to his burial casket by a witch hunter intent on slaying the foul beast.
The stone circle is set for the summoning of spirits from the nether-realm.
Two rabbits defend their burrow.
Dark magic and unspeakable evil is afoot .
Thanks for having me on board for this challenge. I’m really looking forward to seeing everyone’s work coming in over the rest of the month.
Finished painting my first section of the Aegis defence line. Nothing fancy, just mucking about with drybrushing and washes to try and weather it a bit.
I guess I need to get a move on and do some more sections? XD
So I will probably be adding them later, though not sure if the paint will hold, as I won't bother priming them separately. Speaking of priming, got the overpasses primed and partway through painting, just a quick grey with white drybrush, and some green for the pipes (I'll brighten it up later, after I do some washes as well). Still trying to figure out whether I want to do the metal walkway as chipped/ rusty paint, or just a rusty/ oily steel. Anyway, here's some pics:
