Nice Parts Usage! Week 3: Take That Apart Right Now!

LordofLego

Good morning, and welcome to Nice Parts Usage!, the new game in the forum. In this game, I will pick out a brick and you will come up with clever new ways to use it or show ways you have used it before. Unfortunately, I cannot provide prizes at this time, but you may donate a polybag or something to the winner. You will have all week to submit entries and I will choose the winner next Sunday and start the next episode.

This week's part is from my suggestions box. It was suggested by @Shib and I thought it was a good idea. Soooooo...

4654448: Element Separator

I'm not going to bother with the information on this one. It's in every set with more than like six pieces, so chances are you have one.

Or two.

Or seventeen.

Shouldn't be too hard to think of something.

snowhitie

That's a though one! Going to have a think on it. I've got one grain.of an idea but bit sure how feasible it is. Look forward to try it out on the next couple of days. Love the challenge this game brings, cheers!

I am so glad this piece has been chosen, so many ideas to choose from! I can't wait to make my entry. Spilling out boxes out as I type!!!

LordofLego

Most people have at least a hundred, it seems.

Fauch

LDD has it as well. :)

Here goes...Treadmill...Cosmic variety (My daughter's favorite hero is the Flash and her and her sister are building a house for Flash and Supergirl....this gave me the inspiration).

I actually like the natural slant for putting the control screeny thing (you can tell I know nothing about treadmills).

dannyrww

Oh and since the Flash has pants technically this includes a piece from each of the challenges so far.

Bumblepants

Joker race car. The Friends helmet was the first one I found but decided it actually looked pretty good on him.

dannyrww

I didn't they made it in anything other than orange.

Fauch

I think it comes from town hall or horizon express? they make them green when there are a lot of orange pieces.

Bumblepants

Mine came from the HE. According to BL it is green in the Palace Cinema as well but I would've sworn the one that came with my PC was orange. Perhaps they discontinued the green and switched to orange? It is green in the movie poster sticker though.

bobabricks

The green separator came in Horizon Express because of all the orange pieces and in the Palace Cinema to go with that monster separator on the movie poster. 

snowhitie

I like that car @Bumblepants ! I wanted to go for a see-saw and a merry go-round made from seperators but I could not get it done. The minifigs don't sit on the end of the things and by the time I built something to connect the things to it, it's really cumbersome.
This was the toughest one so far I found, all my ideas turned to nothing when I acutally built something; So, here is my entry for this week, it's not the best model I've ever done but after all the time I put into tryning to build something I did want to share the end result.

Just a notification:  the deadline may be extended one day this week, too.

Quick little park build with a slide!  There's a green separator in the back, too.

dannyrww

Best use for the Brick Separator....Joker wins :smiley:

One day extension because I'm lazy!

So who won? I was going to join in on this one but I've been working on another build. I was actually going to do something like snowhitie. I'll do the next one if I have the piece.

LordofLego

It's a tie between @Fauch and @dannyrww because of their creativity and interesting techniques. Danny didn't really use it right, but his was too funny to pass up. Tomorrow I will post the next challenge. I have no time today.

LordofLego

The next challenge will be even more late. I have the part, but I don't have the time.

Shib

@LordofLego - Can I suggest you try announcing the part on Friday instead of Sunday? It give people the Weekend to start the build. Also the time difference means that your Sunday announcements might not be picked up by some people until Monday morning.
