Now you need to mod the topper. Add strobing white LED inside some cotton to simulate the steam, tie it into the flashers on the backbox.. Seriously contemplating buying this before it goes away

Ahhhh, that is a freakin brilliant idea!
I am actually thinking of stringing some fiber under the orbiter engines and tie them to a flasher to simulate the main orbiter ignititor system, the fiber should simulate the sparks well. With the addition of some LEDs in the engine bells it should tie together nicely!
Well I "wanted" so much I went and bought it. So now I have the original topper and this one. I take it you mounted everything on a board and screwed the board down. Thanks for the tip.

I actually used small dabs of hot glue to hold it all down. I really didn't want to screw anything into the head and figured hot glue was the least evasive of my options.
