Pat's 1/35 Tamiya Nashorn and a Model of the Month 
Pat's tip: Use a RinseWell reservoir with water to clean up acrylic paint

Tomasz's 1/144 Zvezda Boeing 747-8 Jumbo Jet 
His tip: if you use a liquid mask (like the one used on his airliner's windows, 
remove it within a week to ensure an easy removal and to avoid cleaning up residue from it

Dennis's 1/48 Hobby Boss P-38 Lightning
His tip: use picture frames for bases from Hobby Lobby like the one he painted for the P-38

Jon's 1/72 Matchbox Walrus flying boat
His tip: to scribe panel lines, use a triangular shape 3/4 file

Chad's 1/24 Tamiya Ford GT
His tip: for priming your models use the Mr. Surfacer 500 or 1500 thinned with 
the leveling thinner 400 at 50:50 mix

Gary's 1/35 Trumpeter B-4 M1931 203mm Howitzer
His tip:  after you use glue, especially superglue, check if your fingers are not glued together and have a debonder handy

Caleb brought 1/48 Tamiya Sherman Easy 8 work-in-progress. He is trying to create a diorama based on the kit's box art. Caleb's tip: use a hotwire foam cutter for dioramas to achieve a desired effect

Randy's tip: use plastic polish from automotive stores for polishing paint to have a shiny finish (on cars)

Ernan's tip: 1) heat some water and place a spray can in it before painting to get a better mixture and coverage; 2) using surgical gloves, soak/clean the kit's plastic with the Dawn cleaner diluted with water 50/50 to ensure good paint adhesion and strong glue bond
