| A fellow dutch teacher made a great website illustrating a great portion of human
history using minifigs. He made his collection through years of kitbashing from
his own collection and he hasn't kept a list of what parts were used.
For illustration: see https://www.geschiedenisinminifiguren.nl/alle-minifiguren
(it's in Dutch but the images speak for themselves i think). It's a great
website and resource that the children find very appealing.
I'd love to make a set just like his but it's a giant task to find all
the parts. And in some cases rare parts/minifigs are used, so some smart replacements
will make the set more affordable for schools. My plan is to publish a list for
other schools so they know how to purchase the entire history in minifigs. All
public, open source etc, i do not want anything from this except the ability
to source a full set for my class. I will also send the list to the maker of
the website so he can help other schools source these minifigs.
So my big question is: who can help me figure out what parts are needed for which
minifigure. When is it smart to buy a complete minifig, when do i buy separate
components? Is there a way to share this newly gained knowledge? Would it be
possible to say 'i want Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Hawking' and just
have a one click to wish-list for all the parts?
Currently i think i've gotten the first 10 minifigs reconstructed in a big
wishlist. So about 90 to go...
Is anyone interested in this to help me figure this out?
(i'm new to your discussion forum so if i posted this in the wrong category
or violate a rule or bylaw i have not seen, please help by informing me)

Start by looking at all the Collectable Minifigs, I see a lot of them in there
with no mods. I see two 3rd party items, Adolf Hitlers gun and Richard Winters
helmet. Not sure if any of the torsos are custom prints.

Perhaps they are not all genuine Lego parts? The closest I can see for the beard
on Leonardo is https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=13768&idColor=1&name=White%20Minifigure,%20Hair%20Long%20Straight%20with%20Center%20Part%20and%20Beard&category=%5BMinifigure,%20Hair%5D#T=P&C=1
but it is not exact.
