How about this one ?

I very much like the grouping and idea of a full-size clan tent version but, to my eyes, the latest iteration with tartan backdrop is much too busy and distracts from the grandeur of those fine gents.

I was thinking, these lads would be great in a Monty Python "Flying Circus" skit, complete with the crude and rather comical animation of their limbs and bottom jaw.

Cheers,

Hahahaha!!! No, not all Sydnie.

Just a weird, random thought that popped into my head whilst viewing this thread. See how my mind works sometimes?!

I doubt the idea of a life-size cutout would work. You'd need incredibly high-res scans of the original artwork for any kind of quality to survive such enlargement to life-size, for placement at a clan tent. To see the problem, take a piece of clip art, say 320x240, and blow it up even to just 8x (2560x1920). That's only a fraction of how big you'd need to enlarge, but you'd see just how much the image would break down.
