Description

Scala, a branch of its own

Scala was a separate range aimed mostly at girls, which in the nineties worked with larger dolls and a lot of accessories. The miniature garden is one of the smaller sets in the line. It contains no minifigure because the residents of the Scala world are separate dolls that were sold on their own. What you get here is surroundings and accessories: plants, furniture and small details that bring the garden to life. A garden in miniature is also easy to display, for example on a windowsill or a shelf, because it needs very little space.

Red, green, white and salmon

The palette stands out because it departs from the usual brick colours. Alongside red, green and white, salmon is one of the main colours, a soft pinkish shade that almost never appears in classic Town or Technic sets. That is exactly what makes this set interesting for collectors: these tones are hard to find today, and anyone hunting for them in parts has a possible source here. For dioramas with flowers, furniture or garden accessories, such soft colours make a pleasing contrast to grey and brown.

Lots of variety for few pieces

With 65 pieces and 40 different shapes, the variety is high. Nearly two thirds of all parts differ from one another, so the set is made less of standard bricks than of accessories, flowers and special shapes. On this page you can see the full parts list with colours and quantities, which makes it much easier to replace missing pieces or check a second-hand set. Since many parts occur only once, a missing piece is otherwise easy to overlook until you start building.

Where these parts can go next

The flowers, furniture and decorative pieces fit into other worlds as well and add some colour to any scene, whether a house, a park or a corner of a town. With the “What can I build?” tool you can see which models your own collection allows. If you own further Scala sets, you can extend the garden with a terrace and rooms into a larger display. Even without further sets, the leftovers make a small decoration that suits the houses and gardens of other ranges.
