Here are a few more photos of my nixie clock kit fitted in a polished stainless steel case.

The case is NOT included with the kit and is not currently offered for sale.

The top and base is made from laser-cut 2mm thick polished stainless steel.
The sides are a piece of thin, perforated stainless steel (3mm perforations.)

A nice feature is the underside of the tube leds reflect inside the case and glow through the perforations in the dark.
