I have found that taking a rubber band and putting it arround the cap works wonders. Very easy and cheep method. If you cannot get a good enough grip on the jar then put a rubber band on both. HTH and God Bless, Ken

Dave, Thank you for the compliment, I really like the end result from this project. Jeff, Thanks for the positive comment, glad you enjoyed it. JMac, Thank you sir for the compliment. One of these days when I get a F-4 done I will get them all together for a pic! God Bless, Ken

I got him done. 8 month build took a bit. ANyhow.... on with the pics! I used a bunch of techniques I have never used before on this build. Hope you enjoy the look! God Bless, Ken

Very nice looking build! Love the colors. A second suggestion on the gloss coat thing. Future (or Klear in parts of Europe) can also be brush painted just on the areas that the decals are to be applied. Future self-levels so it will eliminate any brush marks. Just about any decal setting...

Work continues on the bug. Got the landing gear painted and attached. Slowly getting all the small stuff done. God Bless, Ken

Brad, I am looking forward to seeing the P-47. I can undserstand what you are talking about on fuselage joins. When I built my C-47 both halves of the fuselage were warped. I ended up starting on one end and glueing 1" at a time. I do use liquid cement and that helped a bit. Still took me...

Mr Dog, Very nice build! Thanks for posting these pics as well as all the other builds. Good to see you are enjoying hobby. God Bless, Ken

Scott, Excellent work on the X-Wings. Bigs and Porkins ride again! Thank you for doing all the work it took to not only create a couple very nice models but in the process you created an online community. The well project is the reason this all is happening. I look forward to seeing more...

If you are concerned about the decals I suggest getting some Microscale Liquid Decal Film. A couple coats over the decals and then just use them as normal. I use a brush to apply this to my older decals before using them. HTH and God Bless, Ken

Shark and Joolz, thanks for your compliments! Joolz, your wish is my command. Washed with ProModeller clay based wash product: This build is starting to take on some personality. Still lots to do but the end is in sight. God Bless, Ken

Here is Matt Swann's Future writeup. Includes how to use it, what brands from what countries, all that good stuff. http://www.swannysmodels.com/TheCompleteFuture.html I will add that I have used Future for a thinner on the long out of production line of Pactra Military Acrlyic paint and it...

Brad, There are SOOOOOOOOO many memorable (at least for me) thunderbolt markings out there. Which ones were you thinking of doing? Having fun with the P-39? What has been the biggest jump-at-ya lesson on that build so far? God Bless, Ken

Nice build! Thanks for posting the pics! God Bless, Ken

Joolz, thanks for the compliments. Got the decals on, here is a quick pic. If you are wondering what all those captions are about please check out the full thread on Agapemodels.com http://agapemodels.com/forums/index.php?topic=1743.0 God Bless, Ken

Brad, What is up next on the bench? God Bless, Ken

Frank, your patience was well rewarded on that build. The digital cammo looks awesome. God Bless, Ken

In the early ninetys I burned myself out of modeling because I built two 1/72 F-14 kits under a timetable for a show. It took me about two months to get both done but I really lost my taste for the hobby. I did not pick up kit again until fall of '08. I hope Scott does not push himself too...
