NOTE: It must to be for something you use ALL the time in wargaming, sculpting, painting, etc. (WITH MINIATURES). Of course, if you don't know the inventor's name, just mention the invention. My nominee . . . Dr. Fritz Klatte, the inventor of PVA glue (1912) Now, who would YOU nominate? CC |

Now, now. You know better than that, Russian Bear! :) Unless you use beer to thin out your paints or strip miniatures. CC |

The guy who invented the automatic multi scale historically correct figure painting machine. But we may have to wait a little longer to find out who he/she/it is. |
| Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy | 09 Oct 2009 5:37 p.m. PST |
The inventor of the guy that puts beer in bottles. Honorable mention the guy that put it into cans. |
| GreatScot72 | 09 Oct 2009 5:42 p.m. PST |
The original formulator of Future Floor Finish-hands down. For the record, if I had any sisters, I'd probably offer them to him in marriage as well. |

Kyoteblue, Breast enlargements on miniatures? Well, that must have been a sculptor at Ral Partha*/TSR or something like that, right? CC

Beer, boobs, and CA are not a good combination. |
| Pizzagrenadier | 09 Oct 2009 6:58 p.m. PST |
CA is my vote. Don't know what I would do without it. |
| Jeff Ewing | 09 Oct 2009 7:00 p.m. PST |
William Petersen, inventor of vise grips. It would have to be a posthumous award. |
| Jakse375 | 09 Oct 2009 7:05 p.m. PST |
Julie Guthrie, for all the fine sculpts i have painted. Also a big shout out to the guy who invented the ergonomic chair that i use. many a mini would be still naked without him/her |

| jpattern2 | 09 Oct 2009 7:52 p.m. PST |
The inventor/formulator of Future, then of CA, then of X-Acto knives, and finally of the Dremel MotoTool.
I raise a glass to all of you gentlemen and ladies, whoever and wherever you may be! |
| Sundance | 09 Oct 2009 8:27 p.m. PST |
The inventor of the Sham-wow! (No, I'm just kidding…) |
| Jakar Nilson | 09 Oct 2009 8:32 p.m. PST |
The Canadian and the Yank that got the prize this year for the Charge Coupled Device sensor belong in this category. After all, it's the basis for the digital camera. |
| John the Confused | 09 Oct 2009 11:21 p.m. PST |
Reserve one for the person who finally invents tartan paint. |
 Bobgnar | 10 Oct 2009 6:57 a.m. PST |
It would have to be Steve Jobs or however invented the Mac computer, otherwise I would not be able to participate in this group. Or maybe it should be Al Gore who invented the internet, otherwise I would not be able to participate in this group. Or would it need to be Ben Franklin who invented electricity. Wow, just think how many people needed to invent things so i could participate in this group. |

Dear Forum,
All of those who worked on the "Manhattan Project"(even those who didn't already have Nobel prizes), without their efforts and the subsequent "Doomsday Clock", how can I justify my lead-shield of thousands of unpainted miniatures which are strategically placed in my backyard fallout shelter….
Regards from near D.C.,
