It use ATtiny13 AVR microcontroller and software PWM to slowly fade wings on and off.

First i made paper crane and the rest is copy-paste basic forms. The basic shapes are actually simple and flat. The most difficult part is soldering SMD components.

All electronics and batterys (4 x AA) are in the bottom wooden box.
