War of the Worlds effect with animation.

Custom Built in the USA.

>  Starling proudly introduces our first E/FX™ Life Force Light, sound and animation kit for the Pegasus #9001 "War of the Worlds" Martian War Machine.


Note : Requires cutting and Drilling skills.
  This amazing effect is sure to send chills down your spine as it takes you from the rise
of the menacing machines, to the attack, and finally to the machines final demise,
and includes our all new rotating head that scans for it enemies.

  Effect features all green lights fade on, fading red eye, red heat ray, green heat rays,
along with hovering, scanning, firing, and shutdown sounds.
Animation of the neck provides a slow short radius sweep and a slow long radius sweep.
  Our new kit provides 3D printed diffuses and other replacement parts to make
installation easier, sturdier and gives it an over all better display.

  This kit requires a custom base, as most of the electronics are stored outside the model.
You may build or purchase a custom base of your choosing, or purchase a 3D printed
base height extender that we designed for this model and light kit, found under options.


  Because there is a motorized component, it is advisable to build this model so that it
may be opened in the future for part replacement. My build in this manual is based on
a mostly non-glued build.


  Powered by provided 5v connector you connect to your usb phone charger or
optional 4.5v battery holder.

How it works
When power is applied, there is a pause of silence, then the sounds of the war machine
awakening begins followed by all green lighting fading on. While the eye begins to
fade on/off and the hover/scanner sounds begin, the head comes alive swaying back
and forth, scanning for a target. This state will continuously loop until the button is pressed.

Quick button press : Head stops moving, Red ray and green rays fire quickly, after a
  periodof time, the head begins to rotate again and hover/scanner sounds begin waiting
  for a button press.
Hold button for more than a second: Head stops, red eye begins pulsing faster, this
  builds up to emit the red heat ray, releasing the red heat ray and finally releasing the
  green heat rays. The head will begin to rotate while the green rays fire. This action is
  repeated twice, then the machine begins to shutdown with green lights fading out,
  cobra head returns to center while red light flickers and goes out.
The lights and sound will stay off until you awaken it again with a button press.
