This is an interesting example for those questioning the detail level of the bones material versus the detail available from a metal model. Many times they're close enough - particularly the bigger the model, but if you compare the bones 77066 with the metal 3361on the Reaper site you can see the intricate detail of the "armor" on this figure - Derek Schubert really knocks it out of the park with his painting of the dark queen. As the detail just wasn't there on this bones model, I went in a completely different direction of turning the entire outfit into a red dress and going for the pale china doll look instead. She'll be an evil blood red vampire queen instead.
