I have a tendency to be a little overcautious when it comes to highlighting. Best picture I could really muster.
EDIT: And thanks to the poor lighting the highlights are pretty much washed away by what little light there is. Le sigh.

Since it is a dark model, you should shoot it on a grey or darker background. That will help bring out some of the contrast.
Like these guys-- with a white background the purple was almost black.
I recommend a piece of poster paper from Hobby Lobby. Poster size gives plenty of space for models; tape it on a wall and have it curve down onto the table.
I think alot of it is my camera and lighting issues. I paint/take pictures in my garage and use 2 desk lamps. May have to upgrade shortly, but if needed I'll be looking into making a lightbox of some sort.
Are they work lamps or upright desk lamps? I got three of these and the brightest fluorescent bulbs I could find. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20370383/
Put a light from behind the camera. It will help. Also a Neutral Grey Background will give you better results. White backgrounds overexpose the photo.

Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?
