Great work! I think yours is a step above mine given the custom case. I'm sure we both agree the neon glow is a really elegant match with wood and brass. I love the acrylic light-pipe design for the colons. Let me ask you something, do you notice flickering on your dekatron? It looks like you are using the "pie" type animation, I'm using your kit for another clock and opted for the "processing" type because the flickering was very prevalent above 30-40 seconds counting, since I assume the neon dot has to dance around a lot to light that many positions.
