Hi!  I'm a Nixie fan, and though I've never been lucky enough to own a real clock, I've recently made an app for the iPhone and iPad featuring Nixie tubes.  It's at apple.co/1RaYQZY .  The images are all computer-generated, and I've come as close as I could to simulating real IN-18 tubes, but I'd be very interested in any thoughts the experts here have on what might be improved.  

I've attached a screen-shot!

Thanks kindly,
Neal Bridges.

This is a good opportunity to mention another resource - a Nixie typeface.

Note that I'm simply hosting the files and had absolutely nothing to do
with their creation.

Any thoughts on the graphics?  I was trying to match the IN-18 -- anyone with real IN-18's care to comment?

Thanks,
Neal :)

Neal, the graphics look very good. My only comment would be that the back of the tube looks a little too 'pink'...

Nicely done.

Kind of you to say!  Thanks for the notes.  I'll see if I can tweak it.
