A Stormtrooper in Nidaros: Installing Yellow LEDs On Second Sidepanel

I recieved the correct LEDs yesterday and proceded to solder the alternating flashing LED-circuit.

I used this tutorial as a base:

I prototyped the circuit on a breadboard first and added three more LEDs in parallell to the LEDs already in the circuit as well as replacing the capacitor with one with a higher value (330 microfarads) to get them to blink at a slower rate.

I took my cue from Kurtyboy and his excellent thread detailing his superaccurate sidepanels: http://www.therpf.com/f79/my-han-carbonite-panel-upgrades-23-nov-2013-a-113003/
There he comments that we see one row of the LEDs during the short scene (when Leia unfreezes Solo) and that only two are lit up, and don't blink.
But considering their configuration it would be natural to assume that they did blink, in some configuration, but that they maybe had a very slow rate of change.
Either way I'd like to think so, and Kurtyboy said "I suppose it would be neat to have them flashing alternatively but that's beyond me!", so I took it upon myself to have that effect on my own panels, to make them a microscopic bit more interesting to look at.

Anyways, here is the circuit on the breadboard:

I'm pretty sure there is a much easier way to do it, but that's the configuration I ended up going for. That's how you get things done, just choose something, and go for it. I could have sat around and thought about it forever, but then it would never have been finished.

And here it is all soldered, the backside looks like mess, but it works!
