In this building is a galactic restaurant for meeting the galaxians far away. The building is built in a round shape and the main bricks are the brick separators.
I saw the belt wheel thing as a face (Hopefully others can too?) and wanted to make something silly. He's a lanky alien trying to catch a good feed!
The arms wobble around so it's the perfect desk toy!

This Marsh Banksia (Banksia paludosa) ‘cone’ (actually a woody fruit) has been burnt in a fire. The intense heat of the fire caused the follicles to open, revealing the seed separators, which are the objects that look a little like lips. While the separators remain in the follicle, they hold the seeds in position. The separators remain in the follicle until it has cooled; once cooled, the separators loosen and fall out, and the seeds follow. In this way the separators ensure that the seeds fall onto cool ground that has recently been fertilised with ash. This is the strategy that populations of Marsh Banksias use for surviving fire.

This is a focus stack using Zerene Stacker.
The snowfall works well as a separator between the background and these group of spruces. I also like the structure it creates.
These kind of groups can be very old as an individual since the heavy burden of snow wintertime bends the lower branches to the ground so that they can root and grow to new individuals when the old one breaks or dies.
My second racing ship of the year, after the Alpine A823.
I've built the Taranis last year, and wanted to do another spaceship that used bricks separators. But this time I wanted them to be properly integrated, and I wanted the model to be well designed.
I also wanted to build a stand that was more than an stand, so I've made a repair platform for the ship.
The basic idea was to use the roller coaster track elements, but in reverse : the carts are static, and it's the tracks that roate. They form a ring on which a mechanical arm is attached. The scissor lift can freely rotate on that ring, and move indepedently from the arm. In addition to the rotation of the ring, the ship can be tilted (I reused the ankle build from the UCS AT-AT), and the scissor lift can actually be lifted. It's a small nod to the Train set 4541, one of the very first sets I had as a kid, and that I loved.
Neighborhood Separator
Have you ever noticed those hardly visible separators of neighborhoods? Sometimes you cross a bridge or even a street and the environment changes. The quarter I live in has four different districts from posh, gay, red light to Middle Eastern - on just 1.8 km². An absolute interesting mix.
Cotton Gin in Leslie, Georgia

Had tons of these brick separators on my desk. Initially i wanted to build cannons but ten ended up looking better as claws. The next thing you know O.R.C Unit is born :D
The Frogmore Cotton Gin (previously known as the Piazza Gin Building) is a two-story frame building constructed sometime before about 1880 (due to the use of square nails), but its exact date cannot be determined. The present equipment is later than the building, but it is impossible to know exactly when it was manufactured and installed. Much of it bears patent dates of 1883 and 1884. The Munger double box press has to have been made and installed after 1890, because it has Birmingham stamped on it, and the company did not open a plant in that city until 1890.
Representing a major technological innovation called "system ginning," the Piazza gin was state-of-the-art for its period. Cotton was sucked from wagons via a circular tin duct into a wooden Munger separator which is high above the surrounding machinery. The suction process was actuated by a fan within the duct system which was powered from the drive shaft on the lower floor. Cotton was being transported through the flow of air, and the purpose of the separator was to remove the excess air and force the cotton into the separator's hopper-like bottom. The cotton fed from the bottom of the separator into a two-tier system of conveyor belts with a wooden housing. The belts swept the cotton along into a pair of Gullett gin stands. The conveyor mechanism made it possible to regulate the amount of cotton going into each stand. Each stand is fabricated of magnolia wood and iron and is a two-stage boxy affair. The upper portion, or feeder, encases a large wooden roller featuring rows of iron spikes. These removed leaves and other foreign objects from the cotton and forced it into the ginning mechanism below. Here a series of circular saw blades with iron ribs between removed the seeds. The teeth of the saw blades literally tore shreds of cotton away from the seeds. The seeds then fell to the floor. The seedless cotton, now called lint, was forced from the two gin stands into a pair of tin battery condensers. The condensers are essentially large ducts that channel the cotton to the baling stage which was centered around a pair of deep wooden boxes mounted on a circular platform set at one end of the gin house. The platform is set flush with the ginning floor and is supported by a central iron post which allows it to rotate. It is almost as wide as the building, and when stationary, one large cotton box is on each side of the building. The box on the south side was fed lint from the condenser via a special feeder known as a tamper which "tamped" the cotton into the box. When the box was full, the platform was rotated 180 degrees, which brought the filled box on top of a screw thread press located in the floor below. It also brought the empty box from the other side of the gin underneath the tamper, for the filling process to begin again. The lint in each successive box was compressed upward into a normal size bale, which once complete, was released from the box using latches. The press was powered from the drive shaft on the ground floor, while the platform itself was rotated manually. A signature feature of the gin building is a pair of large rooftop ventilators (seen painted in red in the photograph above) which extend several feet above the roofline. These functioned to release exhaust from the separator and the tamper.
The Piazza Gin had been abandoned for years in its former location and was moved in 1997 from Rodney, Mississippi to its present location (seen above) on the Frogmore Cotton Plantation. The new setting is historically appropriate because Frogmore is a historic cotton plantation which once had a similar gin. The second floor of the gin building and the ginning/pressing equipment were moved intact. The roof had to be removed for the move, and the first floor structure was removed due to severe deterioration. Its drive shaft was removed intact, as were the steam engine and gristmill. Once on site, the roof and first floor were rebuilt, the drive shaft put back in place, and the steam engine and gristmill positioned where they had been originally.
Early gins are so rare, virtually non-existent, because continuing technological improvements rendered them obsolete. The Piazza cotton gin is of regional significance within the South as an extremely rare surviving historic cotton gin. More specifically, as an example of "system ginning," it represents the remarkable technological improvements made in cotton ginning in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Because of its rarity and significance, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on January 27, 1999. All of the information above, and much more, was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Another seed part build. This model's seed part is a classic: the brick separator! I've actually never used one in a build before.
Hello, a little starfighter built quickly some days ago. The idea came when I was sorting the parts from this ship :

I love these cherry measuring spoons and egg separator. I never cook with them, these are props!
The products of lavender distillation is mostly water with a little oil on top. These "kettles" are called essenciers and are used to separate the lavender oil from the water, similar to oil separators used when making gravy.
Product and waste was moved around the ore-processing plant with a system of chutes and belts. On this level, below the magnetic separators, are two sets of conveyor belts. One took grit out to the waste pile. The other took bigger chunks of rock out to a different pile for sale to highway builders for use as the base of new roads. This one took grit to the waste pile.
On our farm we had to separate the milk - by hand with a Cream Separator and then with the same bus on a Tuesday send this can with cream to town. It has been used well..
but really the convenient COVID separator. Typical suburban Chinese food shop, Brisbane.
Does everyone remember chairs or benches being used to separate people from staff in shops during the worst of COVID?
OK, I know it's a stretch but multi functional all the same!
3 tier dummy on smaller dummy separators, made for my TD against Nati (congrats yours was amazing Nati!!) design adapted from a planet cake design i saw, fondant covered, hand painted names, royal icing piped diamonf patterm, black fondant flowers with silver cahous detail top tier was decoarated with satin ribbon and diamante buckle detail, separators coverd in black ribbon
I miss my beloved Cockatoo named "Ah Po" and he accompanied me and my brother to grow. He was one of my family member. But he has passed away long time ago. We miss him very much. Now, I take the challenge of kayu builder and have idea to build as LEGO Cockatoo with using "Separator".

When I saw I was near 100 followers yesterday I thought I'd build some brick separator soldiers- fitting with the theme of my name- and a small sign. Enjoy!
Looking down at four substantial pieces of machinery in the old ore-processing plant. On the level above are nine magnetic separators; on the level below are four rotating washer drums.

When the wheat and the oats are golden yellow
And the combines are out 'Doing their thing',
Just how many of us can remember
The days of the the old threshing ring?
I can still see that big old steam engine
As it slowly came puffing up the lane:
Pulling behind it the large separator
That soon would be threshing our grain.
Then along would come the teams and the wagons
And from the fields all the sheaves they would bring:
Yes, we even had a boy to bring us water
In the days of 'The Old Threshing Ring.'
Then, at noon, Mom would call us all in for dinner
To a big meal that was fit for a king:
And even though she didn't pitch any bundles
She had her place in 'The Old Threshing Ring'.
When all the wheat and the oats were in the granary
And we had a big straw-stack back of the barn:
The 'Old Huber' and its separator
Would pull on down to our neighbors' farm.
When the threshing in the ring was all over
Then at someone's house, we would meet:
To settle up our account with the thresher
And have all the ice cream and cake we could eat.
But today, the story is quite different
And no more do we hear 'the whine and the sing'
Of the big belts on that 'Old Huber' thresher
Back in the days of 'The Old Threshing Ring'.

Monochrome view of those big drums, which I think are ore grinders.
There are four washer drums on the level below these four grinder drums. But on the level above the grinders there are nine magnetic separators. The math doesn't quite add up evenly.
Sit back in that lounger of yours...take a deep breath...relax...and have a listen to Separator from the latest Radiohead album.
Now...pick up that camera and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
Nine magnetic separators lined up at the highest level of the old ore-processing plant.
The raw product would come up on three belts and then separate into three chutes each and go into the nine machines. They would separate out the rocks and grit. The remaining ore went down through two lower levels for more processing before going up on another conveyor belt into a silo for rail shipment.
