I want to try to make my own topper.
The pin does not have a topper mount hole.
I have some models I would like to use as the topper.
I just don't want it shifting around.
My first thoughts are some rubber mesh mat to provide stick.
I think a building on a C (clip) type base would be optimal. I may have to use the steel bending machine at work. Paint it black to blend in....

I used strong velcro to mount my Orca home made topper on JAWS. Held without a problem.

I used the existing bolts that are on top of the backbox, but that depends of the width of your topper, if it's not wide, the existing bolts will be of no use since they are close to the sides of the top of the backbox.

There are no bolt holes.
Machine is stock with no topper.
Know the wait for my minis.
I have the painter lined up for the models and an inset base.
