Anthony, it's still a great model but I am beginning to think it needs more
wing feathers, esp. after seeing the CAD versions. The wings look kinda
skinny...

Me too.  However if you were to build a 4 foot long lego dragon, you'd know
too, that the wings being that size are very hard to make look 'full' and still
make it so they move and don't destroy themselves when you pose them.  I hearby
challenge everyone to come up with a better design, cause I want one.  Those
wings were the biggest I could do and keep structural integrity.  For
reference, not including the pod racer fin my wings are 59 studs long each.

How about using a bunch of the triangular plastic wing/sail sheets that have
come in several sets, such as 6045, 6088, 6093, 5921, 6495, 6579, etc.  6093
even has feathers printed on it.
I know that these aren't "bricks," but they are still Lego, and they would
add a lot to the fullness with almost no weight gain.  Also, I haven't
messed with the CAD stuff yet, but I don't know if these are rendered or not.
