wannab, thanks for the hint! I'll have a look there!
Orbital Drydock, thanks for the explanation! Do you think it would be a good idea to connect all LEDs to transistors so that the current doesn't run through the IC's, or is this ok?
I'm also wondering if I should place the whole blinker circuit directly inside the base and not in the model itself. There's not a lot of space inside the model and putting the circuit into it on a board would probably make lightning more difficult. Plus if some components other than the LEDs and their resistors fail, I could replace them more easily...
