User blog:El Alamein/The Counter-Factual

Hey, DF Wiki!

I'm working on a project for school, a video called "The Counter-Factual", and it's what the name implies: just a short movie about alternate history. The three main segments would be about Alexander the Great, had he been killed in battle; Napoleon Bonaparte if he hadn't been exiled after his disastrous Russian winter fiasco, and remained in power; and Adolf Hitler if he chose not to attack the Soviets at Stalingrad, fortified his Western border, and waited until the following spring to launch Operation Barbarossa.

I've got actors. I've got script. I don't have two things though:

Costumes.

And money.

Do any of you, any at all, have even a single idea on how I could make passable Macedonian armor, Persian soldier costumes, Napoleonic uniforms or Nazi outfits, and on the cheap? I am willing to take any idea up to this point, because I really need to kick-start this project into action. Links to any websites that would help are appreciated, or if you know how to make any of the above costumes, please tell me! I need your help, DF Wiki.
