Default Wanted - a HUGE digital clock

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?


When I saw the subject of this message, I assumed something larger
than 7 segment displays made up of 150 cm fluorescent tubes :-).

As others have suggested, a LED strip would be the simplest solution
for your miniature clock.

An other alternative would be a projection clock, with only 20 cm
digits, the illumination level is quite sufficient. If you use back
projection, please remember to switch the horizontal writing
direction.
