I remember reading about him when I was pre-med. Maybe he was the unconscious
inspiration for my nametage. I'll put him on the list of custom figures I
need to make. It'll be an homage.

Here is a picture of what I had in mind. The entire "Wanted List" portion may
need to be removed because of copyright issues.

In the very least, it would be cool to browse Purist Custom Figures, and see
what official parts they consist of.

This is not going to happen. As one of the other catalog admins already stated,
there is pretty much a 0% chance that anything custom will not get added to the
catalog.

Thank you for the information. I don't know if I'm prepared to go to
that length, but I greatly appreciate the practical idea.

I'll definitely read more into this.

What you are really asking for, is a method of taking an abstract collection
of official LEGO parts, and generating a BL compatible upload to a wanted list.
It doesn't have to be those figs, but they are a good example. It could be
for any abstract MOC.

I wonder how difficult it would be to run this on another site, and query the
BL catalog via the API ?

  Thanks. I've given it a lot of thought (maybe too much).

The connection to Charles is unintentional (but great catch). It's from my
name Andrew, and a pun.

If unintentional, even more amazing!

Dr Drew was an American surgeon and medical researcher, who pioneered the large-scale
blood bank by coming up with better methods, though his research, to store blood.
Also allowing breakthroughs in transfusions.

He also was the first African-American to serve on the American Board of Surgery,
as an examiner.

So, a pioneer in more than one sense.
