I'm thinking some kind of solid structure (sprue) with green stuff over them for the limbs, and then maybe a thin layer of green stuff the bits in between?

I think they're the wings from a GW's dragon kit, with green stuff to bulk up the spine and bone structures.

It looks like thin plasticard sheets for the wing skin.

Do you think my idea would work as a reasonable substitute?

How good are you at scratch building?

Essentially, every model ever hand sculpted is the process of building up epoxy putty over a structure, so the scope of your idea could range from utter disaster to award winning triumph!

I'd recommend some wire, rather than sprue, as a scaffold though, will make getting the shape easier.

This is what I was thinking they might be based from earlier, you can pick these up from bits sellers, they're popular, so not especially cheap, and often sold out, so you have to be patient, but if you're not confident with scratch building, they might be another way to go.

I'm a decent amateur at scratch building. Are those the wings that come with the daemon prince model, they look very similar.

The whole model is the "Dethroner" from Hi Tech Minatures.
