NOTE: One thing I want to do in this thread is post any images that are clear models for the painting. For sake of keeping the thread organized and readable, however, please PM me with links/images, and I will post them, while giving credit obviously. I don't mean to sound like a dick, I know it isn't my forum and I don't get to make the rules and all that. But if we have people just posting images as they find them we'll get repeats, and they'll be all out of order, etc. You are obviously free to do as you please, and I'm not going to throw a fit or anything, but I do think the thread will be more readable and usable if I can organize the photos at the beginning of the thread.
edit: And I don't mean to say don't post in my pretty thread. Post away! But don't post the list, cause I worked hard on it, and I won't be happy.
I just want the pictures to be organized, that's all.
Okay, here's the numbered list of the faces and names we've guessed. Thanks to Winston for introducing the painting and threads to the forums.
The original threads:
one
two
three
four
The full pic the numbers I am using are based on:
A much better image from Dry . It is bigger, but the numbers DO NOT MATCH the numbers in the pic I found.
The list: Ok, I decided to just use carriage returns. It will result in longer than absolutely necessary posts, but with the reply box being smaller than the space in the post, the word wrap will make a nightmare of trying to make into columns or something. For simplicity and my sanity, I'm also just going to post pics along with the numbers, rather than doing a list, and then a separate section of photos.
If you feel I went with the wrong choice, or if I missed an ID, speak up! Also if I misspell your user name.
1:No consensus. Onodera says St. Peter, Thue says Plato, germanos says Socrates. I say either St. Peter or Aristotle, but St. Peter may or may not be elsewhere, and I'm really not convinced of any of them.
St. Peter:
Aristotle:
2:Cui Jian, named by Frostyboy. Good job!
3:Lenin, Jaguar. I'm generally not going to pic people who are obvious.
4:Tukhachevsky by onodera, though he wasn't sure. The face seems off, but so do alot of the faces. And this helmet appears to have flaps on the side. But the whole star and spike thing definitely works. A cautious 
5:Lots of argument here. Most mention one of various Pharaos, Huej insists he isn't. I don't think a name was agreed upon.
6:Bill Clinton, Hercules 7:Peter the Great, Will9 8: DeGaulle, Winston
9:Margaret Thatcher, Hercules
10: No consensus. Van Gogh has a vague resemblance, but he was identified elsewhere.
11:Bruce Lee, Imran Siddiqui 12: Winston Churchill, Cronos (no, I'm not doing your weird capitalization)
13:No ID 14:Oppenheimer, germanos pic thanks to Solomwi
15:Elvis, GePap 16:William Shakespeare, Imran 17: Mozart, GePap
18:Genghis Khan, Kidicious. Though this is one 2 or 3 guys ID'd as Genghis. Still up for debate, I think.
19:Napoleon Bonaparte, Imran 20: Che Guevera, Frostyboy 21: Fidel Castro, Dry
22:Marlon Brando, Dry 23: I don't think anybody ID'd this guy. But sometimes I had trouble telling just who posters were referring to. This is where numbers are good.
24:Marilyn Monroe, Winston 25: Yasser Arafat, Hercules 26:Julius Caesar, Imran
27:Well, Imran says Bogart, but to me it looks nothing like Bogart, this guy seems to be wearing a military style uniform, and Bogey is famous for smoking cigarettes, not cigars like this guy. I say still open, but feel free to contradict me.
28:George W. Bush, Impaler 29: Pavarotti, Winston (Wow, is that a word or just a name in Italian? Cause google spell-check recognizes it. Interestingly, it DOESN'T recognize google.
)
30: Salvador Dali, GePap 31: Empress Dowager Ci'Xi, GePap 32: Liu Xiang, Dry 33: Koffi Anon, Bebro
