That's easy. You can either send your kits (and preferably with LOTS of Cash) to ajlafleche , AVUS or Heavyarty and they'll turn those figures into life like things. |

Chocolate is fine, too! :D (Thanks for your high consideration of my skills, m1garand)
Seriously, the easiest way to give your figures some depth is washing (with a dark color) and dry brushing (with a light color). You can either use black to wash the whole figure or use a very dark shade of the back color, e.g. dark green on German uniform gray or burnt umber on flesh. Then you'll have to dry brush at least two times once with the base color (German uniform gray or flesh considering the previous example) and once with a lighter shade of the base color.
If you want to have a more realistic look you'll have to blend the colors. Using oils or enamels it's fairly easy since you'll have to work with the thinner to "mix" the colors on the figure, while using acrylics you'll have to mix various shades of the color from dark to light and apply them one by one on the figure. The more shades you make the more the blending is seamless.
