I thought that paper might be too fragile for the wings, so I used part of a USPS mailer. In hindsight, it was probably overkill. Regular copy paper will probably be strong enough, especially once it is held together with hot glue.
I tried to add texture to the wings using more hot glue. I added detail to the body using more epoxy putty.
The fangs are the tips of toothpics. I made the eyes by pressing the tip of a retractable ballpoint pen into a blob of putty. I ran an extra strip of putty down the back to integrate the wings into the mini.
I'm sure he'll look a lot better painted up. He might be a bit too big, but, that just makes him more dangerous! :) I'm going to drill a hole in his back and make a "flying base" using wire and a wooden base.
