Impressive! But it would be better with a bulls-eye level, rather than the latitude scale...

As you said, it could make a good 'conversation piece' at parties, although I think this version would be a bit more impressive! I do not have details of suppliers - but a good place to start might be Len Honey at "Science Replicas", (in London). He sells a lot of similar sundial items, and a Google search can probably find him. If not, then I think Tony Moss could give you his contact details.
