big ol' Longhorn stencil

OK, this might be the dumbest question ever, but trust me, it's for a good cause.

My parents (Dad is Texas Ex '64) are building their retirement home up in the hill country. They installed a large propane tank and painted it white and the cap burnt orange. I said, "Geez, Dad, why don't you just paint a big longhorn head on the side and make it official?" He's all excited about doing that now and I've been ordered to find some sort of big stencil so he can do that.

So, does anyone know where the hell I can get something like this? I'm thinking the dimensions will need to be in the ballpark of 2'x4' in order look good on the side of a propane tank. If something like this isn't commercially available, any tips on how to make one?

My dad is basically doing this to permanently piss off my brother-in-law, who's an aggy.

Thanks for any help on a tall order.

Take a longhorn decal or something of the like, photocopy it, and have it blown up to that size at Kinko's. Then make your stencil from that. (I don't know if Kinko's can do this, but I have used a copy shop to blow up a trial exhibit to 4 by 8 feet so I know the size isn't a problem). You might get more play on this thread if it is moved to Cactus or something.
 
The easiest way to do it is go to work, find an overhead projector and trace the longhorn on some fabric or something.
