Something stirs within the woods - Forest Dragon WIP

So today I wanted to show you what I'm currently working on:

Ive wanted to own a dragon for years. They're the archetypal fantasy monster for me, even better when it's the mount for an Elven Lord. Yes, even though this is the Carmine Dragon model I've decided that I'll be using it as a forest dragon (at least whilst it has it's warscroll!). I'm intending to use the old Wood Elf Noble on Eleven Steed model as the basis for the rider but as things stand am slowly painting the dragon. One thing I didn't realise....the damn thing has an awful lost of spikes and spines to paint....
