First time making a bigger model. I painted this for this months paint competition and Im very pleased with it.

Hello Ninjapirate, Your Orc Wyvern looks good. There are only a couple of things I may give as a critique for Your Model. If You have the resources, You may want to get a large oval base for the Wyvern, then prepare the new base for Your Model Miniature in the same way You did with flocking & detail with the original square base but on an oval base platform. Then for a finishing touch if You want to, rework the wings, the black flesh wing flaps could potentially be highlighted with a grey color to bring out more detail. I wish You success in Your Painting Competition. :-)

Thank you for the comment! I had the square base from the time I had bought the wyvern (15 years ago or so). Im definetly going to try the highlighting, I kinda ran out of steam when doing the wings.
