Differences from original
2 jail walls with ladders instead of just 1.
Double the #22 ooze stickers Matching on both side of the base.
Double Connection Bridge,s ,originaly only came with one brand new.
Double Firing Platforms ,originaly only came with one brand new.

Most of the stickers were placed incorrectly but was able to save
them using the hair dryer method to warm them up then scraped em
off , they were like brand new again and then Placed into the correct
spots ,no pealing or anything. Only missing 2 stickers #10 and #15 ,
if anyone has extras please let me know.

Tons of marker and crayon marks , Of course they were removed 100%
by rubbing them off with a regular pencil eraser.

Happy with the final results even though it cost me a arm and a leg.
Fun to do and Totally worth it.

A closer look at the double ooze stickers and Shooting platforms.

Very cool brah!

I got excited when I read title cause I actually thought "hey someone is makin one look more cartoon accurate!"

Guess was wrong lol :lol:

Still a chance for a chrome paint job and a rc convertion. lol. :trolleye:

My Technodrome is Canadian By the way , shipped from British Columbia.. :P

Awesome job, man!! Technodrome looks fantastic. Love how you managed to get 2 connection bridges for the inside. :tgrin:

Mine's 99% complete, just need to get the brain scrambler and replace the black spiked door (mine won't stay shut).

I have one extra part , happens to be a brain scrambler sewer cover , without a rubber band but in great condition. Send me 3 bucks on paypal and i will give it to you for free , just pay shipping. Deal?

I think I can do that, thanks! How will we go about doing it? PM me with details, thanks again!

Good googly! :teek: I would have sold one of mine to you any day at that price. I get it though. Nostalgia knows no boundaries.

Very intense!

This is forserious.

Thanks guys!! sent a message about the part and how to get it from me in pm , not sure if it went thru so contact me if not.

Beautiful lol: :lol: :D 8)

Oman this thread died quick!

There's not much to say about it.

Previous owner really did whatever they wanted with the stickers! Love the extra firing platform, even if they are completely unusable by anyone. When I put my drome together I was convinced it came with two and that I'd lost one; almost bought a second one before figuring it out.

I'd also like to point out that in the action shot, the good guys are about to kick some serious shell.

1 - Who put Rahzar in charge of a turret? He's more likely to hurt himself than anything else.

2 - Splinter still has his cane, rookie mistake by Tokka.

3 - Mike almost has is nunchuck out, he's going to use that brain scrambler to his advantage and take out some heads on the way around. He's immune: he barely has a brain to scramble anyway.

4 - Leo is showing up on all of the monitors. I think he has them right where he wants them. He's just settings up a distraction for.....

5 - Donatello's sweet surprise attack. Can't tell me the other three went without him, I'd keep my eye on sky for a blimp right about now if I was Shredhead.

6 - April is a sweet talker and Slash is an idiot. He'll be wearing the mutant manacles before that exchange is done.

Nice work. I like the additions you made

Thanks guys!
