I've had zero success in finding a MASSIVE digital clock. I'm after something with digits about 8 inches tall, preferably LED not LCD. Perhaps there is a clock circuit I can buy or build and huge digits I can buy? Or maybe make the digits myself out of loads of LEDs? Any ideas?


Try making a reduced size version of:

That is a little over the top!

I'll get the 7" ones from ebay that the other poster mentioned, and connect them to an old digital alarm clock (so I don't have to make any clock circuitry). I assume this will be easy enough. Might have to add some drivers for the extra current?

The bleached blonde would never throw bread to the helicopters.
