Hive Tyrant Wings

[anitox]

My Balrog wings for my Flying Hive Tyrant arrived today. ;D




Does anyone have some tips or tricks for getting these wings to stay rigid on the model?

I want him to have a cool pose, but I know it's going to be difficult to transport him like that. Got any ideas on how to make the wings removable for easy transportation, then I can put them back on when I play?

So far, I was thinking I could shorten the pegs on the wings, then drill a hole in them for thicker pins. As for the body, I was thinking of extending the carapace off the sides over the arms and down the back a little bit.

I also notice that the wings have a long part that should be flush with the body which I might have to cut back a little.

Any help or suggestions is welcome.

The obvious idea is to make sure they have a nice 'plugless' mounting space, & then magnetize with rare earth magnets... you could leave little stubby plugs for alignment... being plastic makes them ideal...
