WOw, now I see what you guys have been talking about. I simply didnt get it before. Interesting idea! Looking forward to final results.

UPDATE...decided to go with the tan part...cut it to fit a piece of driftwood i had so it looked like the water is flowing out from under the trunk...now gonna take some GS and fill in the sides and shape them to blend it with the plastic...then most all gets covered with Sahara Tan tile grout...hopefully ill have completed pics by the end of the weekend...

Here's another update...i really should start a construction thread to make it simpler...here are some pictures with the GS added...there is a little extra on right now cause i have decided what i want to remove quite yet because i havent finished putting together my slate on the stream in a way i like it...
  i still have to finish the gap between the two sides but im trying to find a piece of driftwood i like to fit in there before i finish foaming it...the second picture shows the second land area i created for the turtles that would be their main basking area...i want to make the edges look like a washed out stream bank with the roots hanging out...another thought i had was instead of going with the sahara tan sanded grout was to go with something more along a stone color (grey-ish)...any thoughts on that would be appreciated...OUT...

^ either one of your suggestions will look good. i think you should go with what appeals to you more.
personally i like the darker colors. what substrate are you going to use for your water feature? that may help you decide. is the water going to come all the way up to the platform? can it? are you going to come down with them a bit more so the turtles can easily access them? some cool pieces of wood jutting into the water would be cool and could possibly add just what they need to get out. is that the root structure you were talking about  ? if so great idea! i think it would look good. :P

yeah the water comes up to the edge of them but im going to a piece in the water and maybe more roots underneath to assist in the ability to exit easy...
