Subject: Attaching wings to a model

I have a model (a mandrake), and a pair of wings that I want to attach (small ones that come in the Vargheist kit), but I'm not sure as to the best way of attaching them.
Has anyone got any advice/suggestions?
Model (I'm thinking the left one, but can use any of the three, really):
Wings (the small ones on its back):

I would suggest attaching to the back of the shoulder blades and smoothing the gap with putty.

well, the shoulder blade location, Pin it, a bit of super glue, and green stuff to smooth out the transition.

Straighten and cut up a paper clip into the length you need. Drill a hole in each piece with a pin vice. Glue together with paper clip inside for stability.

so, your going to need at the bare minimum 2(3) things:
a small enough metal rod (think like 2mm or less)
a drill the same size as your metal rod
glue (possibly)
pick where you want to drill, and drill into the body of the model and the part of the bit that's connecting to the model. more often than not, you only need a short segment. I would look up a few tutorials online, as I am by no means the end all, be all of pinning
