progress on the sundancer

I have spent many hours testing,building and rebuilding this project.The sundancer circuit I couldn't get to work(shameful admission),I tried it soldered together and on the breadboard,but both times it was a no go.
So I resorted to the trusted magbot pendulum circuit and after two tries it is working,which a bot of surprise considering the age of the components I'm using and how I'm using them.
The project is a dragonfly type creature where the components are part of the body,3 large capacitators(2 in parallel to make 1000 uF),some very old resistors,two LEDs(in parallel),two solarcells(also in parallel)and lots of long leads.
At the moment I'm working on the wings........
