Thanks Galen. The military diorama people and the fantasy miniatures folks can create some fantastic models, with lots of shading and tinting and highlights. For me, with an entire layout to build, I'll be sticking to the basic dark wash and dry-brushed highlights for now. Generally, the things you mention will create a vey nice model.
Further thinking makes me realize that I have only been using the dark washes to go in the groooves of stuff, and not so much to render shadows on the bottom of stuff. I'll have to pay more attention to that! Also, the drybrushing of the lighter color should be heavier on the top of something and less on the bottom.
