Talking of art and sundials (OK, I know. Close though). Has anyone ever attempted anything like the interesting polyhedral dial show in Holbien's "The Ambassadors"? If you don't know the picture it's here: http://gallery.euroweb.hu/art/h/holbein/hans_y/1535a/1ambassa.jpg I can imagine it being an interesting school project - in stiff card - if somebody provided a PDF file or similar to print out.I've had as close a look as you can expect to get using a computer image file (not forgetting the caveats about working from photographs) and it seems to me that Holbien has produced a picture of something  that would actually work. What do you think?
