I humbly put forth my tutorial for you.

For example, if I wanted to create, say, a scarecrow figure. Could I work on putting together the head first, and then mount the assembly on the rest of the outfit later on? Or would I have to get it all done at once?

I would recommend working bottom to top, but yes, you can take it in steps.
