AMT/Ertl kit with LEDs and fibreoptics for the portholes. Ran it from the 6v GI string.
It looked awesome in the dark (no photo sadly)
Great kit for STTNG; but you need heaps of patience to drill & glue in the scores of optic fibres one by one.
Sold the whole kaboodle some years ago.

I like the fact you added lighting to your topper, a great idea.  ^^^

Heres a photo that was added to my sunday questionaire thingy when i first joined.

The 3 x heads (klingon, ferengi and borg) on top of the next gen are actually musical lunchboxes that open up and have various different speech modes. I thought they would look good as toppers. I added the same car for the batman forever pin ($20 bux), and a severed hand for the frankenstein topper ($25) , as well as wrestling belt i paid $20 for and the Hulk Hogan man for apx $20.. Cheap way to add bling to a pin.

Toppers are fun to do and add a uniqueness to every pinball.  ^^^

out of all those I reckon the royal rumble toppers are the best, pretty much look like they came original with the machine

Like your array of toppers, particularly the Frankenstein one. Nice line up of machines too.

My new lady friend . . .
Figurine of Elvira on top of Scared Stiff. Made her up from a vinyl kit and air/hand painted her. She has a concealed 12v Green LED flasher w/- reflector at her feet which highlights her um, assets.
Too hard to catch the green in pic. Might add green G.I. LEDs later.
