Hey, good news !!
It's working !!! There's only one LED not flashing but this time it is probably a wrong connection of my part; I'll check this.
I'm so happy !!!
But to make them turn the fastest they can, I need to decrease the VRs ? They are not turning so fast. I'll see when they will be installed in the case, but if it's not fast enough, how could I change the resistors in order to get a faster speed ?

Cool! Good to hear.
To make them faster you can adjust the VRs. 100k being slowest and 0R being fastest (but will still be limited by the resistors after the VRs). The VR at R2 controls charge speed and the VR at R1 controls discharge speed. If it's still too slow with the VRs set at 0, you'll have to change the resistors or the timing capacitor.
I can't remember what value cap I specified for the timing capacitor. Was it 10uF or 47uF? If it's 47uF you actually might need to change the resistors to 100R. You could use 1k VRs for finer control then I think, and 10k would have been good rather than 100k, even if it was 10uF. Oops
edit - I think I put equations for working out speed on the first page, or... whenever I posted the first schematic!
