After reading and being in awe of the amazing build that Julz completed, it spurred me on to have a stab at it myself.
So, here's my build post thus far.
Im finalising the battery feed , paint touch ups and some other smaller parts.
Servo wings are functioning, screen has 2 displays that can be toggled via the slider.
A potentiometer controls the light speed and wing movements.

I've built and wired everything using arduino, nothing is purchased from an seller or someone far more professional, so forgive any imperfections as I go.

Also I've Ghostbusters 2 chase sequence on the wings.

I had a real trouble shooting issue with selecting a battery input to supply the arduino and the servos.
Im waiting on a bucl converter to step down to 6v and give the servos a direct consistent feed.
Here in using a temporary 4 AA battery 6v set up to test.

In the video link below this is currently where I am.
I have both screen patterns available by switching the slider bar left or right.
I had one led failing in this video which is now corrected.

I've since realised the diagnol pattern should be top to bottom not bottom.to top like in my video and I'm.currently correcting this.

Next I'll be housing the battery that I've settled on permentnantly , housing the battery on/off switch in the handle base with red led

Allowing access to charge and installing a bracket for the potentiometer.

Then it should hopefully be a case of sealing it up!
Oh and I need the grid for the screen printing too.

Thanks!!! I've just installed buck to step the battery down and I have the wings working perfectly. I'll post an update soon

Do it!! It's been a really satisfying process and julz conversion files for the wings and instrument panel are top notch!!!!
