Capsela

[Arran]

Did anybody own Capsela construction sets where the mechanical parts were encased in perspex spheres?

Re: Capsela

Yes, had a small(ish) set of Capsela - about 8 perspex spheres with interlocking cogs and I particularly remember the big red wheels and the yellow floats. Nice and easy to put together (in various combinations) and, being obsessed with robots in the late 70s/early 80s, I liked that proper machines could be assembled quite easily with Capsela and were quite futuristic looking. Noticed someone has posted an article online called 'Capsela - the toy that changed my life!' - well, it didn't quite do that for me, but I do remember it being good fun and it's still in my loft (minus box) so maybe it needs a dust-off!
