For some reason my own answer to this question has been gnawing at me as I
put them together last and don't know why I do it. It reminds me of the fact
that I eat each different kind of food on my plate one at a time instead of
taking bites of each in turn.

Perhaps in asking this question I am just seeking reassurance that I do it
the "normal" way. I would like to know other's opinions about this though.

Minifigs are my little girl's special job - that's how she "helps" me put a set
together.  (She's 3.)  I pick out all the pieces for her, plus accessories, and
she's learning to follow the instructions to match up the tops and bottoms
correctly.  For new minifigs she might need help getting the leg studs all the
way in, but she's getting very good at it, and it's a source of pride for her,
and conversation for us.  She worries about minifigs who don't have hats or
hair - "but their heads might get cold!" - or aren't smiling - "Why is this
person sad?"  She might get them done by the time I'm finished.  So, in answer,
they are started first but finished last.

Cheers, Heather
