The right and left wings has been pegged and fitted. The former is a bit of a handful as the distal/ aft portion of the wing root was severely off-center ("levered" demolding). Nothing to fret over, as a few minutes under the hair-dryer and some digital manipulation restored everything as it should be. . . maybe better!
Going forward, at the forefront of planning will be whether to mount the wings permanently, finish- ing and re-texturing the seams, before or after painting. While I am not averse to the latter, there will be some minor re-sculpting involved to effectively mask the seams, and this will impact the final finish on the dragon. . .
Fortunately, still down the road some. . .
