I am considering doing this too, i saw one on wickipedia, they had a few pictures, like from the movies, and a more in depth details of the names etc. you should be able to find some screen shots if you google it.

I don't know what the murral you're reffering to looks like, but if you have a picture you can enlarge it various way.

My personal favorite is to use a graph:

• Make a copy or tracing of the original picture.
• Draw a small grid over the copy. Say 1 inch squares, deppending on the detail level you might want to go smaller.
• Draw a larger graph on the wall area with the same number of squares. (example: if the copy is 8"x10" and you did 1" squares, and the wall area to be covered is 4'x5', then cover it with 6" squares.)
• Number/alpabetize the rows and collumns for refference.
• Draw whatever you see in box A1 on the copy into box A1 of the wall, then drw whatever you see in box A2 on the copy into box A2 of the wall, so on and so forth.

Other possibilties are: use a projector and trace it; scan it into the computer, and blow it up, and pirint it out on several sheets of paper; use a copy machine to blow it up; etc.

Thanks for that link! I'm a muralist and I will add that to my idea book.
