id love to have one..
I had started a thread on the countdown clock a long time ago, it didn't really do anywhere. 
I'd love to see a replica made.

I have the font used for the hyeroglyphs (sp?)...
I've try to find some info to do the "tech" part of it (the mechanical part of the clock) to make a functional one, but it was too hard to do (well, at least for me )
Find the dimensions and do the "box" is quite easy but the "clock" it's another story...

The mechanism doesn't look too bad: a little CAD, a laser cutter, some trial and error...:confused
Best approach would probably be to buy a cheap flip clock and scale/modify the parts from that.
How large is the Swan Station clock?
Edit: Hmmm, in order for the heiroglyphs to lock in at one second intervals you'd have to use five separate stepper motors.
Hehe, I can already see the costs of a working clock spiralling out of control.

sounds like a static display is the best bet and most affordable.

does anyone know about or close to what the dimensions of the clock are?

hope these help
the beams in the above pic look to be approx 4" wide, if that helps.

long discussion, but basically it translated to 'to cause to die'.
