Cylindrical bottle

The Cylindrical bottle was a great re-introduction into Solid works after the break. the time i was modelling the bottle i couldnt get the lines to snap into the right position. it was due to the fact that I hand set enough centerlines and that I didn't notice the small 1mm kinks in the bottle neck. After creating a new sketch with all the right guidelines in i managed to get the neck of the bottle in the right position. however During this modelling process I came across some difficulties such as; getting the radius’s right on the neck of the bottle, and offset entities, when making the thickness of the bottle. I also found some problems when I was doing the revolve. I used the check sketch tool to resolve the problems which stopped me creating the revolve on the bottle.
