The paint job gets the EXACT effect I wanted. A lot of people simply looked, dismissed it as flames, started to walk off, would see either the ribs or teeth out of the corner of their eye, would keep walking, but slow down, then their heads would crank around. HOLY CRAP! NOW I see it! Was a commonly heard thing. One couple looked it over, walked all around it, and started to walk off, and the wife stopped short, and her husband ran right over the back of her - both of them saw it at the same time, just as they were walking away. Oddly, KIDS would see it right off, point it out, and drag the adult/s over, but I guess its because they're closer to the ground and could see it more eye-level. *G*
